About the Facility
This incredible, up-and-coming equestrian resort in Central Florida is in the beginning stages of an exciting new expansion! With 53,000 acres of national state forest bordering this property on 3 sides, there is endless room for exploration and adventure for both employees and guests! Currently, this facility is home to a thriving group of seasonal Combined Driving competitors and their horses, along with a routine group of equestrian guests, nature enthusiasts, and a growing trail riding program. Set away from the hustle of Ocala's thriving sporthorse centers, this property offers a nature-forward and tranquil setting often missing from similar venues. With upscale amenities including a fine-dining restaurant and bar, beautifully manicured pool, dozens of private cottages and tiny homes tucked amongst the oak trees, and several arenas and RV hookups scattered throughout, this is an equestrian's ideal home away from home!
