Wellington is the self-styled Winter Equestrian Capital of the World — at the height of the winter season some 20,000 horses are stabled in the village, served by 700-plus horse farms.
So Wellington gathers a Harvard aviator's initials, the world's largest strawberry patch, and the winter capital of the riding world onto one stretch of drained Everglades edge — and our Wellington designs gather that into wearable form. Whether Wellington is your hometown, your winter posting, the place you rode once and never forgot, or the horse country you still dream of, wear the history. Strawberry patch to horse country.
