WEF has always been a wonderful horsey place where dreams come true (just like Disney) and now Mark Bellissimo, who heads up Equestrian Sports Productions and is the man behind WEF, has made everyone’s dreams a little brighter with the carousel

I can’t believe another year has come and gone. My parents always used to tell me that the older you get, the faster time moves. I never believed them, but I certainly do now! I always love the beginning of a new year, and the opportunity for a fresh start

Rehab
Monday, December 03 2012
I’m in the midst of my final exams for school so things have been very busy, but I have some very exciting news that I wanted to share! We finally got the news we’d been hoping for! As of November 14, Palermo has officially been cleared to go back to work! Yay! While his injury still isn’t entirely healed, our vet feels as though he is ready to start rehabbing. This made me nervous at first, as I tend to err on the side of caution, but I’ve had to come to the realization that this is our ‘new normal’. There has been really significant improvement, especially since we did the PRP injections, and our vet feels as though he is ready to start going back to work.
