Diamond Oaks Farm Horseback Riding Center - Ocala, Florida

Jamie and Jennifer were both wonderful to deal with. The property is so beautiful and peaceful. We stayed in the RV and it was comfortable. We hope to return again someday and are thankful for the experience and opportunity to stay at Diamond Oaks Farm. We had breakfast at nearby Papys which they recommended to us and we all loved it. Thank you ladies for sharing your lovely surroundings with our family and we wish you the best!

Had an amazing adventure. Jennifer and Jamie literally blew me away! Making reservations, a delight. For me, commutation can make or break an experience…Jamie nailed it. She also asked questions and confirmed the details for our riding experience until it was perfect. We stayed in the 2 bedroom historic house. Clean, identical to the pics, spacious and comfortable. The stables/horses, well cared for and attended to. I rode the same horse “doc” every time because he was perfect for me….this is where Jennifer comes in! Her experience is obvious…her passion is contagious, and I will definitely be back. As if that’s not enough, the trail rides are an equestrian dream! Imagine being surrounded by everything horse!!! I’m over the moon!!!

I had an amazing experience at this farm. As a first-time RV user, I couldn't have asked for an easier experience. The farm is beautiful. The horse riding and services offered are top-notch. One of my best family trips, including for my teens, who are tough to please. Truly an unforgettable vacation.

This so-called professional horse trail-riding company sent me a text at 5:40 AM the morning of our 9 am ride to cancel. We had this scheduled two weeks out yet it took them until 5:40 in the morning the day of to figure out they couldn’t accommodate us anymore. Diamond Oaks require 3 days notice to cancel yet cancelled on us within
4 hours without even an apology. Jamie wouldn’t answer the phone when I called to discuss it. I have stage 4 cancer and my time is literally precious. Do yourself a favor and find a more professional company to do your trail riding with.

Update from Smokey Mountain 11/9/2020: I kept thinking about the good times we had back at this place. Jami and Jennifer has a beautiful vision and they poured their hearts into this place. The horses are very well kept, groomed, friendly and well trained.

Amazing place. Spending Saturday and Sunday night here through AirBnB. We got the King Suite overlooking horse pasture. The front patio is well stocked with chairs and tables overlooking calm and serene pasture view.

The bathroom and furnishing here is truly five star.. No gimmicks.

Made it in time for sunset on Saturday 11/7. Gorgeous sunset off to the right of our cabin. Our 2-yr old boy is loving it out here with horses and household dogs: my favorite was Ana. It's a breezy night in November, so no bugs.... Will return for more.

We had the honor of meeting Jennifer on a carriage ride, not only is the pricing great but the whole experience was amazing. Jennifer is very sweet and we talked the entire ride about life, the surrounding area, and a lot more. The route was very scenic as well! She also offer a lot more services which we’ll definitely be back for me, I definitely recommend this place for a fun relaxing time and a learning experience!

We booked a return visit 3 months in advance for our daughter’s 10th birthday. The booking and pricing was confirmed at that time. Less than one week out, I texted to confirm, enquire about preferred payment and let Jami know how excited our children were. She said they were closed to the public indefinitely. No apology. No remorse. No explanation. Fortunately, there are some fabulous people in Ocala who I am confident will ensure that our daughter has a fabulous birthday riding better horses on a better property with better instruction and hospitality. Jami and Jennifer are awful people with hearts of stone. Do yourself and your family a favor- go somewhere else.

What a great experience! I wanted to check out and get some country air with a horse backdrop and some riding, and this was the jackpot. A working farm, with requisite friendly farm dogs, really nice barns green pastures, beautiful horses and the friendliest hosts!

I stayed in the Historic Home, and enjoyed comfortable accommodations and a view of the pastures from my bedroom. If you are looking for pristine crisp all white bedding and hotel art, stay at the World Equestrian Center. This is a working place, and you are staying in the former home of the owners—it is cozy and warm, with pictures from years of horse shows and competitions from Jenn, the trainer/guide on site.

The ride outside of the gates was beautiful, with easy conversation as we passed gorgeous farms with beautifully groomed horses and white sand arenas. The towering moss-covered oaks over the dirt road were magnificent. I took a picture that will be my screen saver when I’m otherwise pulling my hair out at work.

Want to imagine you live on a genuine, dirt-on-your-shoes, friendly people and happy horses place? You’ve found it here!
