Thoroughbreds’ Versatility Showcased in Event at the Florida Horse Park
A third-generation horsemen, Laurine Lockhart envisioned following in her mother and grandfather’s footsteps in being a Thoroughbred trainer, something she attained and being a high school math teacher, something she’s working toward.
However, the thought of being an event organizer for a show that continues to be a highly anticipated part of the late autumn calendar in Ocala, Fla., one that showcases the depth and versatility of the Thoroughbred, was something that wasn’t on her radar.
This year’s event will be the seventh edition of the Florida Thoroughbred Transformation Exposition, and although Lockhart had grown up exhibiting hunter/jumpers, she was immersed in the world of Thoroughbred racing, at Suffolk Downs and Rockingham Park.
