Holiday & Horses CSI4* is set to bring Thanksgiving-week equestrian competition to Wellington International, with an additional draw for followers of developing show-jumping talent.

The organizer has announced that the event will host the Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series Finals, adding a season-ending competition to the wider horse-show program.

For local residents, the practical starting point is the public event listing, which offers free daytime general admission from Thursday, November 26, through Sunday, November 29, 2026.

Two date ranges to understand

Wellington International’s competition materials list Holiday & Horses across November 25–29, while its public event calendar begins November 26 at 8 a.m. and ends November 29 at 5 p.m.

That difference matters when choosing a day to visit: do not assume Wednesday has the same public-access arrangements simply because competition materials include it.

Confirm Wednesday access directly if that is the day you hope to attend.

The venue address on the public listing is 3400 Equestrian Club Drive, Wellington, FL 33414.

Use the current daily competition schedule to choose an arrival time rather than treating the broad event hours as a fixed timetable for every ring.

A finals week within the holiday program

The March announcement identifies the November event as the new location for the overall Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series Finals.

That gives residents a specific competition to investigate when the detailed schedule becomes available.

It does not establish a final class time, confirmed starting order or promise that a particular rider will appear.

Anyone hoping to watch the finals should check the event’s current schedule and ask the organizer about the relevant class before making travel plans.

Results should be checked after competition rather than inferred from qualifying lists, earlier performances or promotional material.

Plan a flexible spectator visit

A horse-show day can involve several rings, different classes and pauses while courses are prepared.

Build in time to find the appropriate public viewing area and understand which competition is taking place.

If visiting with someone new to the sport, choose a manageable outing rather than assuming everyone will want to stay through an entire day.

Agree on a meeting place and a rough departure time, especially if your group plans to watch different rings.

Follow staff directions around horse paths, gates and working areas, and ask before entering a space whose access is unclear.

Free general admission is not a promise of a particular seat, parking space or access to hospitality areas.

Thanksgiving-week checks

Holiday plans can make timing less flexible, so confirm your chosen date and daily schedule close to departure.

Check the venue’s current spectator policies for cameras, refreshments, pets and other items before packing.

Ask the organizer about accessibility arrangements or any assistance your group needs rather than assuming every viewing area has the same access.

Allow time for walking, check the forecast and plan sun protection appropriate for an outdoor sporting venue.

If weather or competition conditions change, use the organizer’s current notices rather than an old screenshot of the program.

Where to start

Review the public event page, the prize lists and schedules page, and the Hall of Fame finals announcement together.

Those resources answer different questions: public visiting dates, the day’s competition order and the finals’ place in the program.
