Equestrian Season Rentals
Wellington is home to the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), one of the largest and longest-running horse shows in the world, which runs from January through April each year. Palm Beach Little Ranches is a premier destination for equestrians and trainers who need full equestrian infrastructure at home — barns, arenas, paddocks, and room for horses, trailers, and staff — with rideable trail access directly from the property and easy access to Southern Boulevard and the show grounds. Because there is no HOA lease minimum, seasonal renters have complete flexibility on lease length.
Equestrian season inventory in Little Ranches moves fast. Many tenants begin their search 4 to 6 months in advance and the most desirable farms are often spoken for well before the season begins. Reach out early and I will add you to alerts so you are notified the moment something hits the market.
