It was supposed to be all business, but 29 community leaders from Marion and Alachua Counties spent some time horsing around in Ocala today.

They were members of a delegation from the "Heart of Florida."

The group toured different sites in Ocala today, including a horse farm in Ocala called Hennessey Arabian.

participants visited with the Arabian horses, but the event was more than horseplay.

The Heart of Florida Field trip was designed to connect leaders from the different counties and help each other stimulate job growth and innovation.

Other sites included a tour of downtown Ocala and the airport. the delegation will tour Gainesville June 17th.
