For me, "The Ridge at Wellington Turf Tour " is refreshing &

beautifully presented - something different. It is a perfect

setting for young horses to develop & learn for future

International competition. It offers huge benefits by moving to

different venues weekly, instead of staying in the same place

for twelve weeks in a row. Management is superb and very

accommodating for all riders, owners, and most importantly

our horses. I'll be there every week. – Rodrigo Pessoa

Top Riders Endorse The Ridge at Wellington Turf Tour

"The Ridge is a great opportunity to bring along young

horses, a great opportunity to get them on the turf

which is my favorite footing. It was well-run, the

courses were great, and I look forward to it next year."

– Leslie Burr Howard

"In all aspects it was a great circuit. The ground was

good in all the different venues we jumped in. It was

nice because some of the horses jump better on the

grass. The footing was great. The management was

great. They let you do an all-day thing so when you can

fit it in, you just pop in and everything is very

organized. I will definitely attend next years events."

– Jeffery Welles

“I have to say that I am really impressed. The footing is

phenomenal. The estate settings are beautiful, the

course design is world class and the jump material is

state-of-the-art. The facility offers huge warm-up areas.

It is a great experience. You just won’t find anything

better. Being able to take clients and owners to places

like this is really invaluable.” – Andrew Bournes

“I came out last year for the Friday classes. The venues are

always so nice, and the atmosphere is so pleasant,

everyone is happy. It gets so repetitive for 12 weeks in a

row at the other horse show. It is a great change for both

the horses and the riders. I love having the opportunity to

go on the grass. We love the series so much that we are

definitely going to return.” – Ali Wolff

“The set up is not only perfect – it is quiet, a nice

atmosphere, nice courses, nice footing, and a good warm

up. It is definitely beneficial for young horses. I think it is

wonderful that owners and families have opened their

gates to allow others to show on their beautiful properties.

I think that it really makes for a special atmosphere.”

– Cristoph Schroeder

Last year I made it to as many of the turf shows with my up-and-

coming Grand Prix horses and with my young horses each time

they offered young horse classes. It was so nice to jump at different

venues each week. I personally love jumping on turf and it sets the

horses up for competing at shows like Spruce Meadows, Lake

Placid and the Hampton Classic. I like the idea of offering more

classes for my other horses and clients so they have some variety

during the season. – Kevin Babington
