Reed Kessler debuted the mare at an international 1.40 level.
The mare was produced by France's Adeline Hécart. In July she moved to the stables of Epaillard, through teh service of Portugal's Mario Wilson Fernandes. Epaillard and Tradition de la Roque jumped twice on the stage last summer at the Horse of the Year Show in Birmingham. The pair concluded the event with an 8th place in the 1.60m Grand Prix.
At the Longines Global Champions Tour in Vienna they also won a 1.50m class. In Auvers they jumped to victory in the 2* Grand Prix. Tradition's mother is Karioa Grand Pre (by Oberon du Moulin).
