Eventers are gearing up to take on Wellington this week during the $75,000 Asheville Regional Airport Wellington Eventing Showcase presented by Wellington Equestrian Realty. As competitors have begun arriving on the grounds of the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center, photos of the grounds have been popping up online.
The cross country course designed by Captain Mark Phillips and built by Eric Bull of ETB Equine Construction is the talk of the town. One of the most interesting and unique changes to the course this year is that the horses will be galloping through the middle of the VIP tent and off a drop back into the arena. You can’t get any closer to the action than this!
Never seen anything like this, the Cross Country course goes right through the VIP tent at Wellington .

It’s a breathtaking venue to say the very least, and horses and riders look to have been enjoying the immaculate grounds as they settle in.
Eventers, hope you are getting excited for a phenomenal weekend next week in Wellington!
