Ocala, FL – World Equestrian Center – Ocala (WEC) is pleased to announce Barnwalkers as an official sponsor for 2025. This collaboration highlights Barnwalkers’ unwavering commitment to delivering premium solutions for equestrian facilities worldwide.

Their distinctive stall fronts are offered in a variety of styles that can be paired with custom windows, partitions, doors, and essential accessories, ensuring every equestrian facility is as functional as it is stunning.

A well-designed equestrian facility requires not just functionality but also elegance and safety.

“We’re thrilled to partner with World Equestrian Center for the first time,” said Bart Kenis, Barnwalkers’ owner.

Among Barnwalkers’ flagship offerings are their expertly engineered horse walkers, designed for safety, reliability, and ease of use. All the designs cleverly house the motor beneath a protected table for enhanced safety. Options include covered or open designs, as well as integrated lunging arenas, ensuring customization for any facility’s needs.

To further enhance equestrian properties, Barnwalkers also offers premium accessories that strike a perfect balance between elegance and functionality, transforming any barn into a sophisticated, world-class facility.
