Farm Location and Florida Attractions
The farm is located in the hill country of Marion County, one of the most beautiful areas of Florida. Marion County is known to be the Horse Capital of the World and is home to some of the finest Thoroughbreds, American Quarter Horses, Paso Finos and Warmbloods in the United States. There are over 1200 horse farms including 600 Thoroughbred horse farms which have produced 41 National Champions, 6 Kentucky Derby winners, 19 Breeders Cup Champions and 6 Horse of the Year winners. Because of the wonderful, sunny weather and mild winters, horse events are held year round. These include the Horses in the Sun Winter Circuit (HITS), a highly competitive and prestigious show jumping event which draws top riders from the USA and Canada and over 3500 horses to the County. HITS is located 15 minutes from the farm. Visitors also enjoy the draft horse pull, International Combined Driving events, cutting and reining horse events, mini-horse shows and a host of other horse events, all located within 30 minutes of the farm. The area is filled with some of Florida’s finest golf courses including the 18-hole Ron Garl designed course at Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club which features 8 tribute holes from Augusta, Royal Troon, Baltusrol and St Andrews. There are museums (Appleton, Austin Carriage, Silver River…), historic sites (St Augustine Fort, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings…), and enough weekend events to keep a family busy year round.
Marion County is home to the world’s largest artesian spring formation including Rainbow Springs, Juniper Springs and Silver Springs, the largest system in the world, which discharges 531 million gallons of crystal clear water every day. Florida's aquifers discharge over 8 billion gallons of water each day; they are among the most productive in the world and supply almost 100% of Florida’s drinking water. The second largest National Forest in Florida is also located here. Through it is the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway which stretches from the Gulf of Mexico to the St Johns River. It is a 110 mile corridor of natural habitats, wildlife, trails and recreation. There is hiking, mountain biking, fishing, camping and horse trails for all to enjoy. Within minutes of the farm you can swim and kayak in the cleanest rivers in the world, jet ski on any of Marion County’s 168 lakes, explore underwater caves, get down and dirty with monster truck and ATV mudding, and thrill to the danger of motocross events on the National Championship circuit. There are over 37 state parks within 100 miles of the farm.
With a short 1 to 1 ½ hour drive you can enjoy any one of Orlando’s theme parks like Disney, Universal Studios, Epcot or Animal Kingdom, the Daytona 500 NASCAR race, swim with manatees in the springs, lay on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, and so much more.
