You can expect show rings for breed, driven and ridden as well as working horse demonstrations, a horse-drawn vehicle display, dressage and trials. The full program is available on their
website. There will also be a trade village with possibly some saddlers, horse merchandise and farrier demonstrations.
Cherry Pickers will provide all the live music for the weekend. And, when you're feeling peckish, do avail yourself of the cafe food available onsite.
