The event date coincides with three major horse shows at or adjacent to WEC: 1) The International Winter Spectacular Horse Show, which attracts the top horses, riders, and trainers from all over the world for twelve weeks of world-class competition. This includes a Saturday night $100,000 Grand Prix, all free of charge. 2) The USEF/USDF March Ocala Dressage Show, including four days of top level dressage competition, also at no cost. 3) The annual Live Oak International Show Jumping and Carriage Driving Show, held across the street from WEC at the famed Live Oak Stud, admission $10.
