The view from the Equine Motorcoach is fabulous. We're here at the Winter Equestrian Festival all season long - thanks to Mark Bellissimo and his team. This week we are just in awe of the top international dressage competitors who have traveled here for the World Dressage Masters. Many of them have stopped by to the see the Coach and it has been a thrill to meet these superstars of the dressage world. WEF feels like home and there's no place like home.
