Plans for the expansion of the World Equestrian Center (WEC) have been unveiled by management, with the former site of the Roberts Arena aiming to be the largest, state of the art indoor/outdoor equestrian sports venue in the world.
Construction crews have broken ground on the new 150′ x 300′ indoor arena which will incorporate premiere footing, grandstand seating and private suites with concierge service. Outdoor complex facilities in development include six all-weather competition arenas as well as grass Grand Prix and Derby fields.
A 25-stall on site veterinary clinic managed by Dr. Derek McFadden, DVM will provide diagnostics, emergency treatment and rehabilitative therapy to horses competing at the venue.
More than 60% of the facility’s 600-plus stable barns are connected to the arenas by enclosed walkways.

Construction will continue throughout the summer and finish in time for the debut of the World Equestrian Center Invitational, a USEF “AA” horse show scheduled for October 26 to 30, 2016. The show will feature a full slate of Hunter and Jumper competition as well as a Grand Prix, a USHJA Hunter Derby, a Pony Derby and a Gambler’s Choice.
