Amy Owen Center and Janet Price Cawley met as children when they rode at a competitive Hunter/Jumper barn in Orlando, Florida. During their junior careers they successfully competed in the ponies, hunters, equitation and the jumpers. Junior highlights were Pony Finals, Medal and Maclay Finals, and Junior Jumper Zone Teams.
Janet and Amy both attended Florida State University and continued their equestrian education and competition at Full Cry Farm under the tutelage of Barry Lane, Grand Prix rider. It was there that they were encouraged to make a career in the equestrian sport.
Amy graduated from FSU in 1993 and began working as a freelance trainer and instructor. Janet joined Amy and together they found a barn for rent and formed Cavallo Farms in October of 1993. By 1995 they had refurbished that barn, built a clientele and Janet graduated from FSU.
At that point, they leased The Farm on Meridian Road for six years where they brought new vitality to the facility and continued to grow their clientele. Ownership was the next goal to accomplish and in the summer of 2001 they set out to find their own land.
Cavallo Farms Equestrian Center is now permanently located in Lloyd, Florida on 47 beautiful acres. The clientele grows yearly and so do the accomplishments of the horses and students trained by Cavallo Farms. As children, Janet and Amy dreamed of opening their own equestrian center; as adults their hard work and talent has realized that dream.

Today, Tallahassee commemorates Emancipation Day. On May 20, 1865, General Edward M. McCook declared the Emancipation Proclamation in effect from the steps of the Knott House in downtown Tallahassee, and newly freed citizens gathered at Bull`s Pond (now Lake Ella) in joyful celebration.
This important tradition continues to this day at the Knott House at 11:30 a.m. for a special program and reading of the Emancipation Proclamation, followed by a free lunch and activities in Lewis Park. All are welcome.

🐾 Big news for wildlife conservation in Tallahassee! The Tallahassee Museum has officially welcomed four newborn endangered red wolf puppies, born to mother Rue and father Ace.
Red wolves are considered the most endangered canid in the world, with fewer than 300 individuals in existence today. This new litter marks a massive milestone in the Tallahassee Museum’s nearly four-decade commitment to the American Red Wolf SAFE Project, helping to bring this critical species back from the brink of extinction.
To ensure the pups grow up healthy and retain the natural wild instincts needed for potential future release, the museum`s animal care team is keeping a safe distance and monitoring the den entirely via cameras.
While the puppies will remain tucked away in their den, visitors can look forward to seeing them explore the outdoor habitat later this summer.
Head to the link in our bio to read the full story behind this incredible local milestone and learn more about the science of saving the red wolf.
