If you are visiting Ocala for a horse event, family vacation or any other reason... this is a must see. It's located just minutes from our barn loft and makes for a very relaxing few hours or entire day. Tube or kayak the Springs or hike the grounds. They are both beautiful.

A little outdoor swing addition for our loft rental guests.

Added a swing next to one of our Mini Moo turnouts. I want to add a porch swing type seat, or should I just add another single swing? This is a great place for our guests to relax and enjoy the moos… and me to take a siesta, lol.

Here's a creative idea to plan ahead for next year. US Postal service is gearing some items towards the equestrian community.

This will be fun! The US Postal Service will issue a set of horse stamps in 2024. The horses were photographed by Stephanie Moon Photography of Ohio and Karen Wegehenkel Horse Photography of Oregon. Other fun stamps coming next year feature turtles, manatees, and bluegrass music!

It’s time to plan for you home away from home for Fall and Winter Series in Ocala. We are pet friendly and conveniently located to WEC and HITS.

What could be more relaxing than to end a day of showing and come home to mini moos!
We are a non-stress environment, very close to WEC and HITS yet far enough to unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet. Our 1300 sf loft offers a king bed, gourmet kitchen, washer/dryer, central a/c and heat... and of course, pets.
