With in-hand and harness classes for all heavy horse breeds, including mares with foals, young handlers and many more, the Heavy Horses always draw the crowds. The competition is held at the north end of the show’s Main Ring, and takes up the whole morning. You’ll also find a traditional farrier showing how he makes his horse shoes – from the flat bare metal bar to fitting them to perfection; and a pair of Shire horses for you stroke and get a closer look at, while asking any questions you may have about any of the heavy horses.
