The Heavy Horses are on their way!
The Wessex Heavy Horse Society’s Show and Country Fair will take place at the Turnpike Showground on Sunday 25th September. The Society’s mission is to promote the heavy horse, and visitors to the show will be able to see heavy horses being put through their paces in the in-hand, harness, driven and ridden classes.
The Show will feature heavy horses from across the West Country and beyond, and some of the best horses in the area will be competing in the prestigious West of England In-Hand and Harness Championships which is the highlight of the day, and the climax of the show season. Competitors will have qualified at one of the qualifying shows across the south-west of England this summer show season, and the Championship classes bring together the Champions from each of those shows to find the best in the west! Other attractions at the Show will include a horse shoe making competition for local farriers, displays of vintage and classic vehicles and tractors, craft stalls and trade stands.
Visitors to the show can also enter their four-legged friends into the fun dog show, which always proves to be very popular.
For more pictures of last year’s show, and information on the work of the Society, please visit our Facebook page – Wessex Heavy Horse Society or our website www.wessexheavyhorsesociety.co.uk
