The equestrian capital of America — polo estates, horse farms, family communities, and a lifestyle unlike anywhere else in Florida

Wellington, Florida is world-famous as the equestrian capital of America — and for buyers who love horses, polo, and the unique lifestyle that comes with them, there is truly no place like it. Each year from January through April, Wellington hosts the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), the world's largest and longest-running equestrian competition series, drawing elite riders, wealthy families, and international buyers who snap up homes and farms to enjoy the season. But Wellington is far more than equestrian: it is also a family-focused suburban community with excellent schools, large single-family homes, resort-style gated communities, and easy access to both Palm Beach County's beaches and I-95. The Cahur Group works with buyers seeking equestrian estates, country club living, and residential neighborhoods throughout Wellington.
