WHAT IS TRAILBLAZERS

Trailblazers is a competition structure aimed at the more grass roots rider. It is a perfect step between unaffiliated and affiliated competitions. Trailblazers gives competitors a chance to take part in professionally run events and aim initially for a semi-final and then perhaps a national final held at Stoneleigh. There are two disciplines under the Trailblazers set up: Dressage and Showjumping.
