After a 2,500 mile journey with horse drawn vehicles that began in Murietta, California last November, The Caravan arrived at the Florida Horse Park earlier this week and there will be a reception there honoring them on Thursday, March 12th from 1-3 pm. The reception will feature a demonstration by Ocala’s PATH International Premier Therapeutic Riding Center, Marion Therapeutic Riding Association.
