ShowNet, ShowGroundsLive Now Available Free to All WEF Exhibitors

Wellington, FL - ShowGroundsLive.com and ShowNet have joined forces to provide immediately complete end-to-end electronic horse show services to all exhibitors at the CN Winter Equestrian Festival presented by Zimmerman Advertising at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center.

ShowNet's horse show-proven system of ride-by-ride tracking of horses in multiple competition arenas such as orders of go and updated start times complements the online entry, check-in and check-out capabilities of ShowGroundsLive.com.

"We are not committed to the technology but to providing world class customer service," said Mark Bellissimo, Chief Executive Officer of Equestrian Sport Productions, LLC that manages WEF and the PBIEC.

"We are working with David Orlando, a shareholder in ShowNet, as well as ShowGroundsLive.com to provide a world class service to exhibitors for all of the back office and in-ground services that our exhibitors tell us they want. The daily provision of live electronic information has drawn the most complaints from exhibitors.

"ShowNet is available immediately and, as with ShowGroundsLive.com, is free of charge to exhibitors for the entire WEF that concludes April 6 in Wellington." ShowNet and ShowGroundsLive.com are contracted by horse shows as a service to exhibitors.

David Orlando said that ShowNet is happy to provide its service to WEF exhibitors to fulfill its goal of making life easier for exhibitors, trainers, ingate personnel and others involved in showing horses.

"We are happy to be available again at WEF and to provide a solution that benefits everyone," said Orlando who unveiled the first ShowNet program four years ago at WEF. "We are all working to provide exhibitors with the highest quality services."

ShowGroundsLive.com was developed as a partnership of the Littlewood Farm show series that is now part of PBIEC and Wesley Rosner, president of Blue Fox, Inc. of Shelburne Falls, Mass.

"ShowGroundsLive is committed to continual improvements for creating a true virtiual show office," Rosner said. "We are pleased to be working with ShowNet to insure exhibitors at WEF the best possible services available to them."
