Wellington, United States – November 09, 2025 – A successful ESP November show marked the beginning of a new winter season at Wellington International. With riders and horses settling in under the Florida sunshine, the excitement continues to build as FEI competition makes its return next week with the 3* ESP Pre-Charity.
Course designer Jasen Shelley (USA) set the stage for an exciting evening in the International Arena, crafting a track that rewarded precision and forward riding. The $20,000 Palm Beach Equine Clinic Grand Prix welcomed a mix of familiar faces and new arrivals eager to tune up for the upcoming winter season.
In the end, it was Canada’s Erynn Ballard (CAN) who made the course look effortless. Aboard Chatadel PS, owned by Ilan Ferder and Jose Salgado Negrete, Ballard was quick to find every inside track and cut every corner without losing rhythm—flying through the timers in 39.54 seconds to secure the win.
Hot on her heels was Belgium’s Pieter de Brabandere (BEL) with Dothraki Warlord, owned by Maarten Huygens, who delivered another double-clear at 39.651 seconds.
Spain’s Gonzalo Busca Roca (ESP) and Cristiano Obolensky, owned by Stransky Mission Farm and Kalany Stables, completed the top three with a clean and consistent round in 41.301 seconds.
