SPECTACULAR DISPLAY OF HORSEPOWER
AT THE EAST OF ENGLAND SHOWGROUND
Come and see the magnificent spectacle of over 200 Shire Horses on display at the Shire Horse Spring Show – the largest Shire Horse show in the World - to be held on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st March 2010, in the exec Peterborough exhibition hall, at the East of England Showground in Peterborough.
The two-day spectacular, organised by the Shire Horse Society, a registered charity, helps raise much needed funds to support the threatened breed and secure its future, especially among the younger generation.
Visitors to the Show, which attracts thousands of crowds from across the country, as well as overseas, will be able to see hundreds of Shire Horses expertly presented and dressed in their traditional glory. There will be a range of demonstrations and classes featuring in-hand, harness, turnout, ridden and with implements.
You can marvel at the skills of the farrier, as the show also hosts the largest farriery competition on heavy horses in England. There is also a display of vintage tractors and farm machinery and the fast and furious activity of dog agility. There is fun for all the family, including the Victorian funfair and a wide variety of trade stands.
Andrew Mercer, Chief Executive, said: ‘It is vital that as a nation we continue to support the Shire horse. The Spring Show is a fantastic way to do that, all in the comfort of the wonderful exec Peterborough exhibition hall. Whatever the weather you can enjoy the majestic and nostalgic sight of these wonderful animals looking their best.'
