About the 2018 Palm Beach Series and Wellington Turf Tour The 2018 Palm Beach Series includes 16-weeks of hunter, jumper, and equitation competition, including a diverse offering of divisions and classes, USHJA National, International, and Pony Hunter Derbies, weekly $15,000 1.40-1.45M Grand Prix classes, weekly $5,000 1.30m Rising Star Classics, and the exceptional venues and all natural surfaces of the Turf Tour. New this year, the Polo West Turf Tours will also host Child/Adult Jumpers under the lights on Friday nights!
A view of Wednesday’s Turf Tour classes from the Polo Bar & Grill The series is a unique addition to Wellington’s winter circuit, offering riders top-tier competition, generous prize money, and an unparalleled atmosphere. Young horses and advancing riders are able to test their mettle in classes ranging from junior and amateur jumpers to the Grand Prix, and at a variety of venues reminiscent of the large European tours. Organized by US Olympic show jumper Nona Garson and George D’Ambrosio, the vision that inspired the tour’s conception was bringing back old world flair to over fences classes, staging competitions on springy, natural turf surfaces away from the intensity of other show grounds. But the laid back atmosphere, which includes open ended show times and concurrently running divisions, doesn’t fail to attract some of the sport’s biggest names, keeping the competition up to par.
