Global Equestrian Group, which acquired the Palm Beach International Equestrian Centre (PBIEC) – home to the Winter Equestrian Festival – in July 2021, has obtained two new companies in the United States to expand and support their market operations there.

Gold Coast Feed, official feed and bedding supplier to PBIEC, is one of the acquisitions by the company that according to the Global Equestrian Group website has a vision “to become the world’s leading equestrian company”.

“We see tremendous potential in Gold Coast Feed,” said Global Equestrian Group CEO Andreas Helgstrand. “The company has a prime location and good range of quality products. Gold Coast Feed already supplies PBIEC, so we are familiar with the company and their services. By adding this company to our group, we can enhance both service level and our great outreach to the equestrian market in Florida.”
