UNIONVILLE, Pa.--Plantation Field International brings elite equestrian sport and classic country-fair charm together each September, and the 2026 event promises one of the most compelling weekends on the eventing calendar.

But Plantation Field is more than a four-star test of skill and stamina.
It is a destination event where spectators can spend the day moving from the competition arenas to Vendor Village, browsing equestrian and lifestyle offerings, sampling local food, cocktails and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the Country Fair.
The weekend’s entertainment adds to the appeal, with crowd favorites such as the Jack Russell Races and demonstrations bringing energy and personality to the grounds.
New for 2026, RDS Automotive Group will be on-site, offering guests an exciting chance to experience an off-road drive test drive in their Grenadier.
The Grenadier is INEOS Automotive’s off-road utility rugged 4 x4 with a body-on-body frame design.
THIS YEAR, attendees can join Team USA Young Rider competitors Meg Pellegrini and Olivia Dutton for a Course Walk on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 5:30 PM.

Tickets are $40 and proceeds will help fund new cross-country fences.
Families will find plenty to enjoy beyond the competition with the popular Kids Korner offering hands-on fun for younger visitors.
