Why World Equestrian Center

This multi-purpose facility covers 300+ acres. There is a beautiful hotel, restaurants, gift shops, more than ample parking, horse arenas, horse competition events, flowers galore that brighten the impeccable grounds, a breath-takingly awesome chapel and much more. What an incredible place that is a wonderful addition to beautiful Ocala, FL.

Janis H.

Trip Advisor

When you drive through the gate you’ll instantly see what type of facility you’re entering. It’s very bright, clean, stately, and prestigious, etc….walking the grounds almost has a Disney’s Grand Floridan feel to it. This place is several notches above in every way. Super impressive to say the least. Come visit.

Alan M. / Google

“It’s a very inviting and welcoming atmosphere. You just make connections with the exhibitors and all of the other vendors. And the staff—all they want to do it help. Everything is always a team effort at WEC.” 

 Sarah O’Brien

Hagyard Pharmacy

“We heard amazing things about WEC, about the facility, the management and the ownership. That’s what brought us here. And everything we were told is true! It really lived up to its reputation. It’s really nice to be out of tent and in a permanent structure. Being able to be in Vendor Village in such a beautiful environment, the décor and decoration is perfect and the flow of traffic and the people coming in to your store, it’s just a perfect fit for our products.” 

Will Wilson

Vice President of Sales/Baekgaard USA

“We’ve been a vendor since 2016 and we love it at World Equestrian Center. Our boutique in Vendor Village is stunning. Vendor Village is so gorgeous and inviting, it’s really encouraged shopping. There is so much support from the venue and camaraderie between all of the vendors, it’s just a great place to be.” 

Dana Miller

owner/Chagrin Saddlery

“Everybody loves it here at World Equestrian Center. The competition is great, the rings are great, and that makes people are happy and happy people shop, so that really helps the vendors.” 

Allan Gray

Owner, Mona’s Monogram

“Being a vendor at World Equestrian Center in Ohio has been a great way to get involved in the Midwest market. It’s been wonderful and really helped build my business in the territory.”              

Becca MacWilliams

saddle fitter/Antarès Sellier

“It’s no exaggeration that World Equestrian Center has absolutely accelerated my business.” 

Barbie Coleman

Equestrian Sundry/Urban Sundry

“AQHA was looking for more than just a facility for our Level 1 East Championship Show; we wanted to find a home where it could grow and impact as many of our members as possible. We found that and more in the World Equestrian Center. The family friendly atmosphere is a perfect match for our exhibitors and one of many reasons why the Association is building a long-term relationship with WEC.”

CINDI CLINTON

Ohio Half Arab Horse Association

“The World Equestrian Center is a first class facility. They host three of our horse shows each year including The Madness, a Top 5 Quarter Horse show. The rings, stabling, amenities and the customer service – everything at World Equestrian Center is always first rate.”
