Add @worldequestriancenter and @theequestrianhotel to your list of places to visit in Florida! On a whim, I booked a surprise overnight trip to Ocala to take our little equestrians to WEC! I had heard it was the Disney for horse lovers and it truly didn't disappoint! From the kindness of the hotel staff, including Miss Shaina, who saw us struggling and picked us up on the golf cart, to the patient women in the toy shoppe, it genuinely made this a memorable 24 hours. You can rent golf carts or walk to various arenas and rings where you can take in special events or live horse shows. Shop at one of many boutiques on site .. we recommend Mr Pickles & Sailor Bear Toy Shop! Dine at Stirrups, the Yellow Pony, Filo's Mexican Cantina, Viola and Dots Italian kitchen... and so many more right on property. This is not a sponsored post.. just a genuine post of appreciation for a fabulous place to take your family, created and designed by The Roberts family. What an incredible holiday experie...
