Just to add to add to what is already a poor financial situation at the Florida Horse Park, the facilities were burglarized earlier this month. In a hard blow to the park, the thieves stole over $40,000 of equipment. As you can imagine, it has seriously impacted how the park are able to maintain facilities on a daily basis as well as prepare for shows.
