FACES OF
WEF
From the steady beat of hooves to the graceful movement as a rider and horse soar over a jump. From the quiet of the crowd as it counts down the seconds to the cheers after a successful ride. The Winter Equestrian Festival is back in action at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. Once again, riders have come to Wellington from all corners of the globe to compete at the longest and richest horse show series in the world. As these riders — from grand prix champions to amateurs and juniors — put their abilities to the test, aiming for the blue ribbon, Wellington The Magazine once again presents our annual Faces of WEF section. Over the next few pages, you’ll get a glimpse at just a handful of the riders competing this season at WEF, from Olympic-caliber superstars to up-and-coming riders to keep an eye on.
