Celebrate the tradition and prestige of the equestrian world by attending the Plantation Field Horse Trials, a weekend eventing competition. Regarded as the ultimate horse and rider triathlon, eventing requires jumping, galloping and precision movements both in an arena and over a series of challenging obstacles on a cross country course.

Plantation Field offers spectators an idyllic venue in which to enjoy this exciting sport. Located in Chester County, Pa., the newly renovated showgrounds include an all-weather outdoor arena large enough to stage three-star show jumping, as well as a new water-jump complex. The arena also features the same turf used in international competitions at world-class race tracks.

This weekend of distinguished horsemanship and exciting competition attracts a crowd of all ages and interests. A Kids Korner features magic shows, balloon animals, carnival games, a petting zoo, and a moon bounce. A trade fair with local artisans, apparel shops, and plenty of food offers visitors a unique shopping experience. The sponsors tent welcomes a variety of guests such as Mr. Stewart’s Cheshire Fox Hounds Pony Club.

Admission to the Plantation Field Horse Trials costs $20 per car. For more information on this event and how to purchase parking passes, visit www. plantationfieldhorsetrials.com.
