The Wellington season is back, and so is a brand-new HorseGrooms Guide to Wellington, FL (2025/2026 Edition)—created for everyone heading or staying south for the winter, or anyone who simply wants to learn more about the unique horse world that comes alive there each season.
This year’s edition is packed with helpful information: from where to eat and shop, to how to deal with Florida’s humidity, fungus, and flies. You’ll find tips on avoiding scratches, keeping your horses happy in the subtropical chaos, and staying healthy yourself. You’ll also meet our incredible HorseGrooms Mentors, get an overview of this season’s HorseGrooms MeetUps, and find trusted local resources for medical care, farrier support, and mental well-being.
As HorseGrooms Founder Dinette Neuteboom writes in her Welcome:
“This little town has its own kind of magic; chaotic, sweaty, beautiful magic. Wellington will test your patience, your waterproof gear, and your ability to outsmart fungus. May you win at least two of the three. Every year, I look forward to going, and by the end, I can’t wait to leave. We live in a bubble here, it’s Disney World for horses, and yet… somehow, I always love to come back.”
The guide celebrates the real life of grooms in Wellington: the early mornings, long days, and teamwork that makes the hard work worth it. It’s a glimpse into a world many horse people dream of visiting, and a practical companion for those already living it. Whether you’re a groom in another part of the world curious about Wellington’s subtropical challenges, or a rider, trainer, or horse lover planning to go one day—this guide offers a window into the heart of the season.
