Guest Stories
“THE largest and cleanest equestrian facility I have ever seen. The R+L Arena is immense, connected indoor shopping, a fantastic cafe, indoor coffee shop, and plenty of friendly and efficient staff running like a well-oiled machine. Great acoustics allowed me to hear the announcements and ample comfortable arena theater chairs. It was like Vegas for horses.”

“Great place to show your horses. Arenas inside and out are well kept as well as the barns. They have over 200 places to rent if you need to stay. They have a small store on site, a restaurant, a café and a Starbucks. Horse shows are free to the public.”

“Great facility, nice footing, and the best lodging! We stayed here for Region 13 and my only wish is that every equine facility was like this one. Convenient trailers and cabins to the grounds. Beautiful grounds, nice arenas, great warmups. Not a ton of restaurants in Wilmington but you don’t need them with the restaurant and grille on the grounds. Fully equipped and stocked kitchens in the trailers make dinner parties with friends a reality.”

Being a vendor at WEC for the past five years has given Equestrian Sundry a great opportunity to connect with equestrian enthusiasts from across the country and Canada. From pony kids to Adult Ammys, to Grand Prix riders to pony moms and dads and everyone in between! They all seem to really enjoy our equestrian inspired gift, home and apparel that we carry. We’re grateful that we can make meaningful relationships and expand our customer base within our storefront in the one-of-a-kind vendor village at WEC Wilmington.
