3/31/26 Wellington, FL - The Winter Equestrian Festival is a marathon, not a sprint. Week 9 is the end of the WEF trail for MHF. We set our sights on a strong finish and thats just what happened. Here are the details:

Fearless leader Freddie Vazquez & Hero showed off their beautiful partnership with a composed round in the CSI2* $32,000 BrainWater 1.45m.

Christina Padilla Leon & VDL Kirado jumped to a double clear round and 13th place finish in the $2,600 1.35m Open Jumpers Power and Speed.

Bennett Doran & Rio Bravo Abelina Z turned on the pace, laying down a fast, fault-free round to claim 2nd place in the Low Child/Adult Amateur Training Jumpers 39 & Under.

Katie Sonnenstein & Fortune R Z dove right into the weekend with a double clear and 1st place finish in the $1,500 1.10m Amateur Jumpers 18-35 following it up with a blazing fast double clear round in the 1.10m Amateur Jumper 18-35 Power and Speed and another blue ribbon. They finished the weekend with a 7th place finish in the $10,000 1.15m Amateur Jumper 18-35 Classic and capped it off with Champion of the division.

Lauren Della Valle & My Lady Carthago were very solid and quick, earning themselves a 5th place finish in the 1.10m Amateur Jumper 36 & Over Power and Speed.

Until next time, WEF!
