Sponsors Continue To Make WEF One Of The Best Shows In The World The success of the Winter Equestrian Festival would not be possible without the dedication and generosity of many wonderful supporters. An iconic sponsor of equestrian sport since 1957, Rolex stepped up to become the “Official Timepiece� of the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in 2014 and has since taken competition at WEF and PBIEC to the next level.
Rolex is the title sponsor of the Week 11 CSI 5* competition this year on March 22-26. An important change to the schedule in 2017 will see the $500,000 Rolex Grand Prix CSI 5* featured in Week 11 on Saturday, March 25.
Of course, there is plenty of action before then. As the 12-week circuit began, WEF Week 1 kicked off Jan. 11 thanks to title sponsor Wellington Regional Medical Center, which also served as the presenting sponsor of the always popular $75,000 Battle of the Sexes. Week 1 then hosted the $75,000 Rosenbaum Mollengarden Grand Prix on Sunday, Jan. 15.
