Light Horse Section

Welcome to the light horse section, we are a friendly show run by volunteers. We run: in hand classes, ridden showing, junior classes, working hunter, fancy dress and novelty classes for the little ones. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and always welcome suggestions. Our aim is for everyone to have an enjoyable day, we have great rosettes and prize money, sashes and trophies for championship classes and brilliant sponsorship prizes such as bags of feed to go home with.

NEWS FLASH: In 2022, we made the decision to move fields, now all our classes are run in the same show field, which is a lovely, flat green field, perfect for soaring over the working hunter fences or trotting up your pony in hand.

We are always on the look out for volunteers to help out as stewards or help with putting up jumps on the day- please get in touch if you would like to help. We are also looking for someone to run the working hunter section for 2024 and join our horse team- please get in touch if you are interested!
