Ocala Horse Show Arenas

World Equestrian Center – Ocala is a state-of-the-art equestrian competition venue offering five climate-controlled indoor arenas and 16 cutting-edge, outdoor Ocala horse show arenas featuring all-weather footing. Arena 5 is specially outfitted with flooring to accommodate Western disciplines.

The Grand Outdoor Arena

The 128,000 square-foot Grand Outdoor Arena is the centerpiece of the Ocala facility. With more than 600,000 square feet of pavers, it serves as a hub for equine and special events.

The Grand Outdoor Arena design accommodates international scale competitions in the grand style of the most well-respected equestrian sports complexes at the world. Amenities include:

  • Covered grandstand on two sides
  • Alfresco VIP dining
  • (2) 30′ x 60′ LED Walls
  • State-of-the-art sound system
  • All-weather footing with built-in irrigation
  • Judging booths
  • Flag court entrance

 

Hunter Land

The hunter competition is on the west side of the World Equestrian Center – Ocala facility. It consists of the large World Equestrian Center Stadium with adjacent hunter and warmup rings. The World Equestrian Center Stadium is a jewel of the facility, featuring all-weather footing and a dedicated warmup area with all-weather footing.

Covered grandstand seating surrounds the field to provide excellent viewing opportunities for spectators. Exhibitors can find the beautiful World Equestrian Center Chapel nestled among grand, live oak trees. The chapel sits between the various hunter and warmup rings that comprise Hunter Land.

Jumper Village

On the north side of the venue, World Equestrian Center boasts its Jumper Village. This area features two main outdoor Ocala horse show arenas that feature all-weather footing. Covered seating and viewing areas adorn the rings for the comfort and convenience of our spectators.

The Indoor
Florida Show Arenas

To guarantee our exhibitors can show no matter the weather, we provide four climate-controlled, indoor arenas each with 171’ × 530’ riding surfaces. These arenas surround the Grand Outdoor Arena on three sides. Our newest indoor arena will feature sand-clay footing and is surrounded by two barns.

Details Make the Difference

Golf cart paths weave through the Ocala facility with associated ample golf cart parking at each of the beautifully landscaped rings. Covered waiting areas for horses and grooms are provided throughout the competition areas. These areas are for the convenience and comfort of exhibitors, their grooms and horses.

Why World Equestrian Center

As a vendor I particularly like the indoor village square setting and beautiful storefronts of Vendor Village. Not only is it the best environment to display products rain or shine, but it also keeps the merchandise protected from damage. I design and sell fashion apparel and show competition coats, so this is especially important to me. It is a pleasant shopping experience, and I always meet friendly and interesting customers.

The Equestrian Hotel

WEC is much classier and cleaner than most facilities I’ve been at and the faculty is tremendous to work with! The simplicity with setting up and tearing down in between shows in vendor village and not having to cover up or put away product is very convenient. The security that goes along with our product in vendor village is very important and with WEC’s security we never have to worry about product being taken or ruined. Being able to have a booth in the village that I am able to close a door, lock, and walk away from allows for peace of mind.

The opportunity to be a vendor at WEC has been very advantageous for both brand awareness as well as sales. The vendor village is second to none – well laid out, cozy, and inviting, with amenities beyond what is available at most other show venues.

The WEC (Wilmington) staff was a dream to work with!  The staff is friendly, responsive, and cares deeply about your satisfaction and the quality of the facilities.  Any issues were minor and the team worked quickly to remedy through great communication.  I will return again soon!

Throughout the winter circuit, the WEC vendor team checked in with me weekly to ensure I had everything I needed to be successful as a vendor and brainstorm on solutions to any challenges I experienced.

This facility is truly world class. As a vendor that travels to some of the nicest horse facilities in the USA, this place is unequaled. WEC offers the finest in all aspects of horse showing, with wonderful amenities for the horse, rider and vendor. The Harris family is so grateful for the opportunity to attend shows here at WEC. The staff is amazing and they are always ready and willing to do whatever it takes to make our setup smooth and uneventful.

WEC ensured that vendors were in high traffic areas, but done safely to make sure horses, riders and spectators did not get congested within the show grounds.

I have been a regular vendor at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala for over a year.  What a beautiful and fun place to work!  The management and vendor coordinator have been so pleasant and easy to work with, I’m eager to come back for the next show!
