Broad incumbents

• World Equestrian Center: World Equestrian Center (WEC) is one of the largest US equestrian venue and show operators, with major locations including Ocala, FL. Operates a comprehensive calendar of equestrian events and provides in-house and contracted services across a much broader portfolio than HSS, including lodging and hospitality.
• Tryon International Equestrian Center: Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) operates a resort and equestrian venue in Mill Spring, NC, hosting major US horse shows and providing full-service event offerings as part of a broader hospitality and resort portfolio with significantly larger scale than HSS.

Direct peers

• Wellington International: Wellington International (formerly Equestrian Sport Productions) operates the Winter Equestrian Festival, the largest and longest-running horse show in the US, based in Wellington, FL. They operate in the same Florida seasonal market HSS targets with its 2024-2026 expansion, and run in-house event services teams that overlap HSS's core offering.
• HITS (Horse Shows In The Sun): HITS is a major US horse show operator running multi-week show jumping, hunter, and dressage events at venues including Ocala, FL and Thermal, CA. They both organize shows and provide in-house event services - serving similar customers with overlapping event-services capabilities to HSS.

Regional players

• Global Champions Tour: Global Champions Tour (GCT) is a major international show jumping series with multiple events in Florida. GCT partners with venues and service providers globally; it represents a high-end potential customer for HSS in Florida and a comparable organizer in the show jumping space, though primarily serving non-US geographies.
