Celebrating their 20th Anniversary, Live Oak International will be held at the 4,500-acre picturesque Live Oak Plantation in Ocala, Florida, from March 22nd to the 25th.
Combined Driver Chester Weber, the eight-time United States National Four-In-Hand Champion and three time Silver Medalist, is based out of Live Oak and will compete at the prestigious event. “It’s hard to believe that this is the show’s 20th year, but I am proud to say that each year the event gets better and better. My sister, Juliet W. Reid, has worked hard to develop show jumping at the event, and we are pleased to once again donate proceeds to the Marion Therapeutic Riding Association.”
