Why World Equestrian Center

This facility is truly world class. As a vendor that travels to some of the nicest horse facilities in the USA, this place is unequaled. WEC offers the finest in all aspects of horse showing, with wonderful amenities for the horse, rider and vendor. The Harris family is so grateful for the opportunity to attend shows here at WEC. The staff is amazing and they are always ready and willing to do whatever it takes to make our setup smooth and uneventful.

The Equestrian Hotel

Throughout the winter circuit, the WEC vendor team checked in with me weekly to ensure I had everything I needed to be successful as a vendor and brainstorm on solutions to any challenges I experienced.

WEC ensured that vendors were in high traffic areas, but done safely to make sure horses, riders and spectators did not get congested within the show grounds.
