| 2014 WEF |
This past Friday I had the pleasure of leaving behind cold and snowy Philadelphia, as I made my way down to Wellington, Florida for the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington.. It was there that I joined my girlfriend to take in a couple days of some of the highest level horse showing in the world. An extra bonus was the 70-80 degrees weather for the duration of my stay. Over 2,000 riders from around the world congregate each year, some coming and going just to compete in the shows which run from Wednesday-Sunday at WEF, others staying the entire 12 weeks, January-March. I had been to shows before this one, but none prepared me for the magnitude of the Winter Equestrian Festival of Wellington. In my previous experiences I could not really recall too much of the business aspect of the sport, in terms of sponsorship and their presence on digital media.
