OCALA, Fla.--Drive up from the glitz and bikini glamour of the Florida coastline, towards the center of the state, and you’ll find yourself in Ocala, almost at the very center of Florida.

Here there are rolling green farms and lush forests, sparkling clear springs and rivers, and a love of all things equine.

Called “The Horse Capital of the World™” for a reason, Ocala has become the epicenter of equestrian excellence in the United States – where premier trainers, riders, and professional breeders – including Kentucky Derby contenders.

Some come as snowbirds and see the pastoral landscape and calm, easy energy.

Almost everyone falls in love.

Like so many, Tami Fratis was drawn to the beauty and vibrance of Ocala, as well as the community’s investment in and passion for the equine industry.

She loved it so much that she took a giant leap, leaving Philadelphia to pursue what she dubbed the BHAG – “the Big Hairy Audacious Goal” – of buying a horse farm and training facility here.

Nothing was more appealing than immersing herself in a vibrant community centered around her passion.

She purchased Tamarian Farms, a beautiful 60 acre property, and created a first-rate training facility, welcoming professionals and aspiring hopefuls on equal footing in a judgment-free environment.

The Morton Barn complex is ideal for events, including retreats, weddings, or clinics. Tami is pleased to welcome Robert Stucky, a top Hunter Trainer and Tyler Haney, Head Trainer o Tamarian Farms

Tamarian also has 25 acres of wooded trails for cooling down horses or bonding with fellow riders.
