Trailblazers does not charge centres any affiliation fees, but franchises out its competition concept. Approval is available to all equestrian centres that currently run competitions (including those affiliated to the BSJA and BD) as well as those run as training facilities or riding schools.  Colleges of further education are not eligible.
 
The Trailblazers concept and its competition structure was created to increase the usage, and therefore potential profitability, of independently run equestrian centres.
