Testimonials

There are so many reasons why I board and ride at Golden Ocala stables. First and foremost, I have a sense of security within our gated community. Peaceful and private paddocks along with individual barns allows for a place of serenity when working on my dressage or jumping skills. The trails offer beauty and escape from the everyday routine. Old oak trees line the property and add to the stable's uniqueness. Finally, the management considers safety a priority and maintains a commitment to protect the horses and work with the customers.

Whether you are a weekend trail rider or a grand prix competitor, the equestrian facilities at Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club have your needs covered; Everything is first class. Lynde, who runs the equestrian facility, does an amazing job. The team at Golden Ocala can provide full care for your horses, or simply rent you a barn and it's your own private paradise. One of the best things about having your horse at Golden Ocala is the sense of community � I rent my own barn and provide my own barn employee to care for my horses. However, on numerous occasions, I've had someone quit, not show up �, and one phone call away is Lynde and the team at Golden Ocala to help me out of a jam. For me, having a day job, this added security is priceless. I personally feel very lucky to have such an incredible barn facility and such great people right in my backyard.
