The Equestrian Hotel Pet Policy

The Equestrian Hotel is an ADA-compliant hotel.

At this time, non-working dogs of any size, or any other pets, are not permitted in guest rooms and suites. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our guests. Well-behaved dogs are welcomed on the ground floor of The Equestrian Hotel, excluding the indoor dining establishments. Owners will be responsible for any damages caused by their pets.

To book pet-friendly options at World Equestrian Center – Ocala, consider our Home Away from Home units, which offer convenient three-bedroom, two-bath accommodations. Hotel Guest
Services can also provide a list of local boarding kennels in the Ocala area.

Registered and working service animals are allowed to accompany their owner throughout all areas of the facility. Service animals should be leashed or harnessed unless such devices
interfere with their ability to perform their designated role.

Please Be Advised: Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Animals whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. 

For additional information, please review the ADA Requirements on Service Animals on ADA.gov
