Ocala Rodeo

It was an honor and a privilege to debut “Freedom” at this past weekend’s rodeo. Commissioned by Pyranha Animal Health and brought to life by local artist Maggie Weakley, this piece carries a powerful message.

Freedom represents the ideals established by America’s founding fathers—enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—centered on the fundamental rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It also honors the freedoms defended by our veterans, protected by our active military, and upheld every day by our local first responders.

Thank you to Pyranha for your commitment to values rooted in faith, country, and horsemanship.

For those who missed the debut, plans are underway for a ribbon-cutting ceremony as Freedom finds its permanent home at the Southeastern Livestock Pavilion. Be sure to follow us and Pyranha for further details.

Hello Rodeo Community. We have a heartfelt request to come out and help support Tom and his wife Anve. Both are fighting cancer and are in need of prayers, love and support. If you’re in the Ocala area next Saturday, July 31st, please swing by the Southeastern Livestock Pavilion and purchase a slab of ribs.
