Isuzu Strengthens Ties With Blenheim Palace Horse Trials For Another Year
Isuzu UK has announced its continued role as the Official Automotive Partner for the Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials (BPIHT) for the second consecutive year. The event, scheduled from 19th to 22nd September 2024, will feature various equestrian competitions, including Dressage, Cross Country, and Showjumping. Isuzu will provide over 30 vehicles to support key operations during the event.
George Wallis, Head of Marketing at Isuzu UK, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: "We’re excited to be involved with the International Horse Trials at Blenheim Palace for the second year in a row. The D-Max has proven to be the perfect vehicle for assisting the event’s operations and it is fantastic to see our branding across all corners of the show. This is an exciting partnership with an industry where Isuzu has a strong reputation for capability, for example a 1 tonne payload combined with a 3.5 tonne towing capacity, the 4x4 D-Max is a true workhorse not a show pony."
This year, visitors can explore five D-Max pick-ups at Isuzu’s 360-degree stand. Among them are the limited STEEL Edition and Expedition Edition. The STEEL Edition boasts a unique Steel Grey Mica colour and SUV-level comfort while maintaining its rugged pick-up DNA. The Expedition Edition highlights extensive accessory options, making it ideal for camping enthusiasts who seek adventure in remote locations.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to experience the D-Max’s off-road capabilities firsthand through an exclusive off-roading experience. Professional drivers will demonstrate features such as shift-on-the-fly 4WD system, rear differential lock, high approach angles, and hill descent control.
Catherine Bishop, Head of Operations at BPIHT, praised last year's collaboration: "Last year, Isuzu partnered up with us as the Official Automotive Sponsor to great success. The D-Max proved itself a wonderful pick-up which fulfilled all its various duties across the event, so it was a no-brainer that they return this year continuing this strong partnership for both sides."
The Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials have been held since 1990 and attract top riders from around the world. The historic venue of Blenheim Palace provides a stunning backdrop for these prestigious events.

The D-Max comes with a comprehensive warranty covering up to 125,000 miles or five years and includes roadside assistance across Europe and the UK. With towing capabilities up to 3.5 tonnes and a maximum payload of 1,205kg, it meets Euro 6D emissions standards while achieving up to 39.4mpg.
