October 11, 2026 • Amenia, New York

A Concours,
Beyond Compare.

Set on a 1,000-acre equestrian estate, exceptional automobiles share the stage with the best riders in the world. The Bridlemont Concours is the culmination of a weekend that has been voted by many as the best equestrian event in the US with hospitality and spectator experiences unlike anything experienced before. This is not your typical concours.

01

Rarely seen automobiles

An eclectic field of significant cars, motorcycles, and historic race cars selected for engineering, design, and provenance. A community of car people driven by passion and appreciation.

02

Two world-class events, one estate

Uniquely, Bridlemont takes place on the final day of an international CSI5* show jumping competition — Olympic athletes and top horses competing alongside the concours. There’s nothing else like it anywhere.

03

Arrive the long way

No highways. No interstate. Winding Hudson Valley roads through October foliage, 90 minutes from New York City. Driving to the estate is part of the experience.

The Location

Arrive the
Long Way.

No highways. No interstate. Located at 217 Depot Hill Rd in Amenia, New York, The Bridlemont Concours is intentionally off the beaten path. Enjoy miles of open road, rolling hills, and peak fall color. When you’re ready to arrive, explore one of America’s greatest racing circuits — Lime Rock Park (20 mins) — or rest and recover at Mirbeau Spa (20 mins).

This is the kind of drive that makes you come for the concours, and stay for the weekend.

The Location

A world-class sporting event, in full stride.

VIP hospitality, elevated—set against the backdrop of Olympic-level show jumping.

The concours

Extraordinary cars,
authentic connections.

You won’t find these cars parked together anywhere else. Bridlemont brings together automobiles, motorcycles, and historic race cars that are rarely seen in the same place, curated by a committee that cares deeply about the story each vehicle carries.

Bridlemont celebrates exceptional machinery in an exceptional setting, alongside one of the most exciting sporting events in the calendar. Select automobiles are integrated directly into the show jumping arena where course walks offer a rare, up-close perspective of the sport and setting.

Every vehicle on the field has earned its place through an application and review process which guarantees that what you’re looking at is deliberate, considered, and worth your attention.
