2026 Season Kickoff: Beverly at the Winter Equestrian Festival

Beverly is officially settled into its southern base in Wellington, and the 2026 show season at the Winter Equestrian Festival is well underway. The pre WEF holiday weeks have set a confident and exciting tone for what promises to be a dynamic winter circuit.

Early highlights include Beverly rider and Wakefield Equestrian alum Brooke Ballhaus piloting her own jumper, Fuego, around the iconic International Arena, while also debuting the sales horse Ballyforce Amuzed in the hunter and equitation rings. These early rounds reflect thoughtful preparation, strong horsemanship, and the quiet confidence that comes from consistent, program-based development.

The season is still young, with much to look forward to. We are eagerly anticipating Balisto’s return to the competition ring, along with the arrival of our clients in the coming weeks as the Wellington community continues to build momentum and energy.

While the spotlight is currently on Florida, we are equally grateful for the extraordinary team holding down operations at home in Virginia. With a full barn of clients, a robust Riding Club school-horse program, the Wakefield Equestrian Team, and our monthly on-site local shows, the Virginia base remains as active and essential as ever. Balancing both locations is no small undertaking—but our staff makes it look seamless through professionalism, dedication, and care.

As we move into the heart of the winter season, we are reminded how fortunate we are to be supported by such a committed team and community, near and far.

From Wellington to Virginia, and everywhere in between—happy holidays to our entire Beverly family.
