A new 500 acre equestrian development is in the works for Wellington, Florida according to the Palm Beach Daily News. It is being planned around the Winter Equestrian Festival by a group of Wellington residents that includes Gene Mische, of Stadium Jumping, Inc.
The proposed development will have "condos, equestrian homes, an RV village, studio-type grooms' quarters, 2,000 permanent stalls, a hotel/spa, medical facility, restaurants and shopping."
A recently announced restaurant -- a spin off of the famous Tavern on the Green in New York -- will eventually be the anchor of a retail shopping area in the new development. Initially, the restaurant will be located in what has been known as Gallipette restaurant, which overlooks the International Arena at the Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club.
The new restaurant opens in November, just in time for the National Horse Show and POLO SEASON.
