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 The Agria Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials and will take place in the lunchtime break of the 4*Long final Show Jumping phase in the Palace Arena. The main Attelage competition will be held in separate Attelage Arena in a quiet corner of the estate away from the hustle and bustle of the main horsetrials event.
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. There is no cones stage in this competition.
