Great place for business meetings. The room we used had a glass wall that divided us from a training or warm-up ring where riders were taking their horses through a steeplechase course. Also, the staff were very attentive and professional. The food was fabulous!

This place is an equestrian oasis. It is beautiful, no expense spared. I just wish the hotel rooms were more for the average person and the showing for summer is expensive. We would do more weeks if it wasn't so expensive. However, once you are there you get why I guess. I can only imagine the water and power bill. The barns are spacious. Everything is well manicured including all the show rings. The place is immaculate always. It's a must for any Equestrian and for even the non-equestrian. My brother, who is not an equestrian, was enthralled by this place. Keep up the great work!

Went to the Blueberry Festival which was enjoyable because they had a Blues Brothers cover band. Prices of blueberry prepared foods were a little high and $4.00 for a 16 oz water is ridiculous!!! Craft vendors were excellent with high quality items for reasonable prices. They really need signage along road to direct you to the proper entrance and then the proper building.

Husband decided to spend the extra money on a hotel room for my daughters 1st special Olympics experience. I previously had went on their personal website and it stated he could get the Florida resident rate which was $350 for the dates I selected. So instead of booking online he walked in to purchased the room. The gentleman at the front desk stated the Fl rate was just for Sun. Through Thurs and he was unable to give it to him and charged him $380. I called up after my husband called to let me know and spoke with the same gentleman. He was not very nice after I nicely explainines to him what it showed online. Then he explains to me even if I purchased it for that price online (their personal website) upon checking in he would have charge me the $380 anyway. Then when I arrive we go to her room which was nice but then we see her view out her window a roof with a dirty rag and a bright billboard. According to him the hotel was pretty empty that night so you think he could have given her a better view. Then in the morning it took about 10min for the water to even get a little warm. I definitely would have much rather stayed somewhere cheaper and receive more for my money and a front desk clerk that’s cares about his customers. Very disappointed with what we received for the money we spent. Next time I would rather stay at a Hilton. The beds are just as comfy, you get breakfast included, and the staff is usually wry nice.

Most horse and dog events are free to the public. Even parking is free. IF they are charging for admission it will be posted for that event. They only time I've seen a charge was Christmas time for the holiday lights. Check the website for upcoming events.

What is the dress code to view the horse events?

Rusty Shelby | Apr 26, 2022

Depends on your personal style. I saw a lot of women of course wearing riding boots and spandex type pants. You can go casual, or dress it up a notch depending on where you plan to eat afterwards. If you want to fancy things up, there is a restaurant for that if you want a little less fancy WEC has you covered. The hotel is crazy fancy imported marble...beautiful surroundings, but a bit too fancy for my taste, cuz I don't have a lot in common with the super wealthy whether they are or just want you to think they are 😉
