Services & Process

Cypress Valley Farm offers horseback riding set within a genuine working farm environment, which gives the experience a grounded, authentic feel that polished riding academies can't replicate. Riders get time on horseback in a setting surrounded by open pasture and natural Florida scenery typical of the Citra and Ocala area. The farm component means guests often encounter the rhythms of real agricultural life alongside their ride. The notary services are an unusual but practical addition, suggesting the farm serves the local community in multiple practical ways beyond just equestrian activities.

Service Area

Cypress Valley Farm serves Citra and the surrounding Marion County area, including riders and farm visitors from Ocala, Reddick, and Anthony. Its location in the northern part of Marion County also puts it within reach of Alachua County residents looking for a quick drive into horse country. The broader Ocala National Forest region makes this a natural stop for outdoor-minded visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of horseback riding experience does Cypress Valley Farm offer?
The farm focuses on riding within a genuine agricultural setting, which means the experience feels less like a structured lesson and more like spending time on a working property with horses. It's a great fit for people who want a relaxed, low-key ride rather than a formal training session.
Why does a farm and riding operation also offer notary services?
In rural communities like Citra, small businesses often serve multiple needs for their neighbors. Offering notary services alongside farm and equestrian activities is a practical way to support the local community without requiring a separate trip into town.
Is Cypress Valley Farm suitable for children who have never ridden a horse?
Farm-based riding experiences can be wonderful for children, offering a chance to connect with horses in a calm, open environment. Call ahead to confirm what age groups the farm accommodates and what the setup looks like for very young or first-time riders.
What makes riding in the Citra and Ocala area special compared to other parts of Florida?
Marion County has more horses per square mile than almost anywhere else in the country, and that history shows in the landscape. Rolling pastures, spring-fed soil, and a genuine equestrian culture make the riding here feel completely different from facilities in South or Central Florida.
Are there other farms or equestrian facilities nearby in the Citra area?
Citra sits within Marion County's dense equestrian corridor, so there are many farms and stables in the surrounding area. Cypress Valley Farm is a distinctive option because of its combination of farm character, riding access, and community-focused services.
Do I need to make a reservation in advance to visit Cypress Valley Farm?
Calling ahead before your visit is strongly recommended, especially since this is a smaller, farm-based operation that may have limited availability on any given day. Reach them at (352) 317-9098 to confirm timing and what to expect.
