Winter Equestrian Festival 2026  - WEF Week 9

he Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) is the largest and longest‑running annual equestrian competition in the world, spanning approximately 13 weeks from January through March. Each week is treated as its own show, and Week 9 (around 3–8 March 2026) includes a mix of CSI5* and CSI2* show jumping classes for professional riders. Classes range across different heights and formats culminating in prestigious grand prix competitions. WEF attracts top international riders and horses, offering world‑class competition, spectator entertainment, vendors, and weekly highlights like Saturday Night Lights — an evening grand prix event with music and family‑friendly festivities at Wellington International.
