About the Shows

Wellington Dressage Show, February 3-6th

The first show in the WEF Dressage series, the Wellington Dressage Show, February 3-6th, hosts the $25,000 Windsome Dressage/Show Jumping Spectacular on Saturday afternoon, February 5th. In this breathtaking event, dressage riders and jumper riders team up and switch disciplines. The jumper riders compete in a Third Level Dressage competition, while their dressage partners compete over a 3’6” Hit n’ Hurry Jump Course.

The stakes are high as the teams try to win their share of the $25,000 purse and the crowds go wild encouraging them. The six-time winning team made of up dressage rider Bent Jensen and jumper rider, Anne Kursinski will be on hand this year to try once more to walk away with the $8000 first place prize. Spectators trek from as far away as Alaska to catch this spirited competition!
