This is a new type of competiton and our very first Attelage de Tradition Meet which is a short format Attelage competition. This event will be run in conjunction with Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials as part of their lunchtime main ring display. The Attelage at Blenheim will be held in a quiet corner the estate away from the main hustle and bustle, with a stage managed main ring display at lunchtime.

Run over one day, participants will undertake the customary AIAT Three stage presentation judging followed by a short drive through the park to enter the main arena for a timed display and three PC difficulties.
