It’s Week 9 of the

Winter Equestrian Festival!

We’re entering week 9 of the Winter Equestrian Festival, buzzing with anticipation for the 2* & 5* competitions, along with hunter and pony derbies at Equestrian Village. This is also the final week to qualify for the $25,000 Lövsta Future Challenge 7 Year Old Developing Jumper Series Final!

Make your way to Pony Island (Rings 11 & 12) on Saturday for a delightful ice cream social and an opportunity to discover more about Bryn Mawr Online High School. Make sure to sign up now.

Beyond the competitive events, our Sustainability Saturdays are a must-attend. This week, we are proud to feature Resource Depot at Pony Island, an organization dedicated to addressing Palm Beach County’s increasing waste issues for more than two decades. Thanks to their efforts, we’ve been able to recycle a portion of our facility signage. We invite you to join us and learn more about their impactful work. Learn more here.
