NEW STADIUM JUMPING SHOW GROUNDS APPROVED BY WELLINGTON COUNCIL

Holding the prestigious Winter Equestrian Festival and National Horse Show show this year may or may not be “in the cards,” but the horse show producer’s new show grounds in the southeast corner of the village has been approved 4-1 by the Village Council. Concerns about traffic, sewer capacity and legal issues were expressed. Stadium Jumping’s horse shows bring millions of dollars into the village and the equestrian season is relied on by many businesses. Stadium Jumping wants to build a new facility, calling it the Wellington International Equestrian Arena, on 179 acres in the Wellington Preserve. Included would be a grand prix field, 2200 permanent stables and 648 temporary stalls with rings for hunters and jumpers, a restaurant and veterinary clinic.
