At the heart of BG Ocala Ranch lies the profound connection between humans and horses—a bond that transcends language and culture. Equine therapy, a centuries-old practice, harnesses the gentle power of these magnificent creatures to promote healing and personal growth. The expanded electromagnetic range that horses have promotes a soothing effect on individuals, contributing to the therapeutic benefits of equine-assisted programs. It has been proven that working in close proximity to a horse can reduce our heart rate, it can reduce blood pressure, can reduce the amount of cortisol, and it can also cause feel-good endorphins to increase in our bodies. There is a physiological reason our moods are elevated by just being around horses.

Under the guidance of experienced facilitators, guests can engage in a variety of equine-assisted activities designed to foster emotional resilience, enhance self-awareness, and promote stress reduction. Whether grooming, leading, or trail riding, participants discover the therapeutic benefits of connecting with horses on a profound level.

The tranquil surroundings of BG Ocala Ranch provide an ideal backdrop for these healing experiences. As guests explore the sprawling grounds and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, they find a sense of peace and serenity that rejuvenates the mind, body, and spirit.

But it's not just the equine opportunity that sets BG Ocala Ranch apart—it's the immersive experience it offers. From exhilarating stick and ball games to leisurely trail rides, every activity is crafted to perfection, ensuring that guests leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and renewed.

At BG Ocala Ranch, the philosophy of "The Art of Living Well" extends beyond luxurious accommodations and impeccable service. It encompasses the healing power of equine therapy, inviting guests to embark on a journey of self-discovery and renewal.

And for those looking to enhance their wellness journey even further, BG Ocala Ranch is the perfect location to book a group health and wellness retreat. Whether for corporate teams, yoga enthusiasts, or wellness seekers, the ranch provides a serene setting for group activities, workshops, and bonding experiences—all enriched by the therapeutic presence of horses.

From a $3 Gilda skewer to a $110 sirloin, Rada’s offerings reflect Buckles’ culinary pedigree and adventurous flair. With dishes like eggplant escabeche and seabass paired with txakolina wine, Rada aims to carve out a niche in Charlotte’s emerging shared-plates scene.Rada blends fine dining with approachability, focusing on flavors that challenge Charlotte’s palate while embracing its neighborhood vibe. Highlights include crispy roast chicken with vegetable farcis and Asian-inspired touches like fish sauce and shio koji. The bar program is equally compelling, featuring a gin martini made with anchovy oil and Basque pepper brine. Roy believes Rada will resonate deeply with diners, offering something fresh yet familiar. This new spot, opened on Selwyn Avenue, invites locals to indulge in innovative cuisine and discover what they’ve been craving all along.
