If you don’t live in Wellington, Florida your might be curious about why so many people travel here each winter with their horses in tow.  Wellington is not your typical snowbird haven, it’s also home to the Winter Equestrian Festival which hosts thousands of people and horses each year.  (Approximately 2,800 riders and 5,800  horses!) People travel from around the world with horses for a series of competitions that run from January until April.  The riders range from children and amateurs up to world class and Olympic level.  And let me tell you, it’s thrilling to see a majestic horse and athletic rider fly over 6′ jumps.  It’s difficult to imagine unless you have seen it first hand, so here’s a great video from YouTube that gives you a taste.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with many equestrians which include polo players, jumpers and dressage riders.  After a long day at the barn, they enjoy coming home to beautiful comfortable home and I am happy to help.  So whether you are here for the Wellington Equestrian Festival or you like play golf, tennis or just soak up the sun, this is a great place to be for the Winter!
