9th Annual Florida Thoroughbred Transformation Expo

The 9th Florida Thoroughbred Transformation Expo will be held on December 12th-14th, 2025 at the Florida Horse Park in Ocala, Florida. The Expo will now feature competitions in 8 disciplines including Dressage, Working Ranch/Trail Horse, Show Jumper, Show Hunter, Eventing, Freestyle, Western Dressage and the newly added Barrel Racing. Competitors will compete for over $25,000 in prize money, awards, and ribbons, while proudly showing off the versatility of the breed. Each discipline will have a restricted and open division and be composed of Jockey Club registered, tattooed, or microchipped off-track Thoroughbreds. Unraced Thoroughbreds are allowed to compete if microchipped/tattooed.

In honor of the Ring the Bell Initiative at Tampa Bay Downs, the 2025 Expo will feature a new Bell Horse In-Hand class. Be sure to read the full description of this class in the Expo rules.

The Florida Thoroughbred Transformation Expo will include a vendor fair with shopping and food for exhibitors and the public, and an educational seminar. The Expo is a great opportunity to show your support and get behind local Thoroughbred aftercare efforts while having fun with your equine partner! Sponsorship opportunities are also available for those not able to compete but who want to help make a difference.
