About

Entries and stall reservations are now open for the 2026 November and December Show Series, featuring four weeks of USEF-sanctioned hunter/jumper competition from November 4-15 and December 1-13. 

The December Show Series will feature Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) CSI3* and CSI1* competition during Week I. New for 2026, Week II will showcase CSI4* and CSI2* competition, all set against the festive backdrop of WEC Winter Wonderland.

The November and December Show Series will also provide riders with the opportunity to earn valuable points toward the WEC – Ocala Leading Rider Awards. Points earned throughout the series will count toward year-end standings in six categories: Professional Hunter, Professional Jumper, Amateur Hunter, Amateur Jumper, Junior Hunter and Junior Jumper. The points race will continue through Week XIII of the 2027 Winter Spectacular, when six riders will ultimately earn Leading Rider bonus awards.
