HOLD YOUR HORSES!

The Shire Horse Show returns to the Exec Exhibition Hall at the East of England Showground, Peterborough on March 20 – 21.

This nostalgic spectacular features hundreds of Shire horses competing in a range of classes and giving demonstrations, all while dressed in their traditional finery and the two-day event will raise vital funds to secure the survival of this threatened breed.

Of course, there’ll be more than just horses to look at – alongside the farriery competition, there’ll be displays of vintage tractors and farm machinery, a dog agility show packed full of cute canines, a Victorian funfair and tons of trade stands full of goodies for horses and humans alike.

Tickets £13 family, £6.50 adult, £4.50 senior and £3.50 children.
