• Millbrook Horse Trials is the largest event in the northeast, attracting riders and spectators from Florida to Maine. Because it brings in Olympic level, world-class competitors from the United States and abroad, it is seen as a warm-up for Burghley, a four star event in England, and provides riders the opportunity to compete all levels of horses.
  • Attracting over 3,000 spectators and riders, our success results from providing a well organized competition with expertly designed fences in a beautifully maintained landscape.
  • MHT is part of the Pro Tour (Professional Riders Association). Philip Dutton, chairman of PRO, affirmed our success and commented that “In a short period of time, your committee has developed one of the premier horse trials in the country. PRO is proud to have Millbrook as one of the PRO Tour Events.”
  • Over 480 horses competed in 2011, our largest and most successful year yet. Advanced riders competed for prize dollars and a chance to impress the USEF Olympic Selection Committee. Competitors have included:

Phillip Dutton – two-time Olympic Gold medal winner
Buck Davidson – Short listed for London Olympics and 2-time MHT winner
Karen O’Conner - Silver Olympic Individual medal and Bronze medal winner
Boyd Martin – World games team member
Leslie Law – Olympic Gold medal winner for the UK

  • Each year the Millbrook Horse Trials attracts over 3,000 spectators and competitors to watch this amazing event in beautiful Dutchess Country. It is a test of partnership and resolve between the horse and rider.
  • The Official MHT program is the spectators’ best guide to learning and understanding the event. It provides a schedule of events, Cross Country course maps, a description of the three disciplines and how they are scored, previous winners and names of fence donors.
  • With over 1,000 programs printed and multiple impressions beyond that, it is a great tool for reaching your audience.
  • If you buy a full- or half-page ad, for an additional $150 you will get 12 months of coverage on our website, as well as a link to your website.
