About an hour away from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida lies the true “Happiest Place on Earth” if you are horse crazy like me. An extraordinary, other-wordly, “Disney”-like setting for the horse lover at heart.

Located in the beautiful Ocala, Florida, the newly built World Equestrian Center is a facility and horse showing experience unlike anything I’ve ever encountered. With the comfort of the horse and horse lover in mind, the 300-acre facility is sure to impress both you and your horse!

The center of the property boasts “The Equestrian Hotel” — a 248 room hotel that overlooks a grand arena. The hotel includes a spa, luxury shopping, and incredible restaurants in addition to stylish rooms. My stay at The Equestrian Hotel included an equestrian-designed and inspired room, a delicious dinner at Stirrups (a great steakhouse that overlooks the main arena with fantastic service!), and the best pedicure I’ve ever received at the Calluna Day Spa.

With 5 climate-controlled indoor arenas, 16 outdoor arenas, 25 barns, and hundreds of turnout paddocks, the horse showing facilities were made with the comfort and well-being of the horse in mind.

With the on-site Chapel, a general store with a laundromat and gas station, and incredible food at every turn, absolutely every need has been anticipated and accounted for. This facility hosts a wide range of equestrian events year-round. Check their calendar to attend the next show!
