The new Wellington International South showgrounds continue to take shape as it prepares for the upcoming season. The new venue will serve as the future home of the Adequan Global Dressage Festival while also hosting FEI show jumping, hunter derbies, Under 25 jumping competitions, and seasonal events.
The covered arena by Coastal Steel Structures is now complete, along with the main arena and 256 new permanent stalls featuring best-in-class Equitan rubber flooring, designed to provide an exceptional stabling environment for horses and riders. An additional 64 permanent stalls are currently under construction and expected to be completed in September.
“This project represents the next chapter for equestrian sports in Wellington,” said Michael Stone, President of Wellington International. “We are building a venue that prioritizes the experience for horses, riders, owners, grooms, and spectators alike while continuing to elevate Wellington International as the premier horse sports destination in the world.”
As another exciting equestrian show season approaches, mark your calendars for the 2027 Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) and Global Dressage Festival (GDF), which return to Wellington International from January through April.
