Central FL is for horses

Ocala


Having sisters and nieces that are into horses and having the world equestrian center nearby, we get to do horsey bits. We went to a polo match.

The World Equestrian Center is an immense place, if the Olympics come anywhere to FL, this will be the site it will be held at. A must see for anyone with some interest in horses. Always something going on.

This is a stock picture from their site, just to give you an idea of its size, and this is just the main arena. Surrounded by many huge stables and indoor arenas. Room for 3000 horses!

We had brunch there one spring day and then watched an event going on. Just regional trial so not very busy.
