Green Gaits, a subsidiary of Western One Agricultural, has become a trusted name in Ocala’s equine community. Known for providing exceptional hay, feed, and supplements, it was built on the foundation of quality and consistency. The Pavilion at Green Gaits was launched in 2024 as an extension of this and offers a unique space for gatherings featuring live entertainment, cozy fire pits, rotating gourmet food menus, and a one - of - a - kind, self - serve beer and wine trailer.
