Wellington, Florida, USA – February 13, 2021 – The wait is over and the first five-star grand prix of the year brings horsepower that hasn’t been seen in a long time. Riders and horses will be put to the test this Saturday during the fifth week of the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), hosting a “Clash of Titans” among some of the finest combinations in the world. Five top-ten ranked riders in the world will enter the International Arena for a Saturday Showdown of Champions!
