OCALA
Thank you for taking the time to get to know The Scout Guide Ocala and the small business owners who are part of our community. As editor, I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself and The Scout Guide’s mission.
I grew up in a southern town in Mississippi and have been coming to Ocala since I was 13 to ride and compete my horses on the winter circuit. After earning my degree in public relations from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, I now live in Ocala full-time. I love meeting the local business owners who make our area unique; learning about their journeys, goals, and interests; and sharing what makes them so special with readers near and far.
As the daughter of two small business owners, I am passionate about supporting local entrepreneurs and being involved in my community. My goal for The Scout Guide Ocala is to create an inspiring guide and dynamic network that celebrates Ocala’s small businesses and connects them with engaged readers like you. Whether you’re a visitor or a longtime resident, I hope TSG Ocala helps you discover the local shops, experts, or services you’re seeking, and encourages you to celebrate and support our small businesses here in Ocala!
Finally, I’d like to thank the business owners who appear on the pages of this guide. I’m so grateful for what they bring to Ocala, and I’m very honored to help tell their stories.
Live,
The Scout Guide Ocala

Founded by Archie Macauley and Jessica Berry, The Florida Steeplechase hosted its inaugural running at the Florida Horse Park in 2022. In addition to the thrilling display of live jump racing action, the day’s festivities celebrate all aspects of equestrian lifestyle and feature a Fashions on the Field competition, children’s pony races, and parades from local equine clubs of all disciplines. The time - honored tradition of tailgating is encouraged at the steeplechase and prizes will be awarded for outstanding tailgate displays. The Florida Steeplechase will be run in November 2023 for the benefit of local charitable organizations. As the final event of the American steeplechasing calendar, we are proud to host the determining competition for the sport’s national title honors.
