ESP Spring Series – Five Weeks of Top Sport Highlighted by Two CSI 3* Shows at Wellington International

By on

Wellington, Florida, USA – March 17, 2022 – The 2022 Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) is nearing its close, but there is still plenty of equestrian action scheduled in Wellington! The 2022 ESP Spring Series will begin April 6, just a few days after WEF ends, and will conclude on May 15. Featuring two weeks of CSI3* competition, enhanced prize money, and new prizes such as airbag vests from Freejump and rounds of golf from Wellington National Golf Club, the 2022 ESP Spring Series promises to be better than ever!

The ESP Spring Series will feature five weeks of competition, two of which will once again offer FEI classes at the CSI3* rating. Hunter competitors will enjoy their chance to compete in the International Ring at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC), while high-level jumpers will also get to ride on the expansive grass Derby Field during four of the five weeks. A series of Jumper Classics will be available for all levels, providing significant chances for prize money. Additionally, all five weeks of the circuit will offer a USHJA National Hunter Derby and a $1,000 2’6”- 2’9” Hunter Derby. Three National Derbies will feature $10,000 in prize money.
