Due to the increasing popularity of the event, the Heavy Horse Spectacular has been extended to two days for the first time this year, and promises to be an unforgettable weekend of displays, demonstrations and parades guaranteed to delight visitors of all ages.

The event is one of the biggest of its kind in the south, and one of the few in the UK where visitors can see these powerful and majestic horses display their skills and versatility with continuous ringside commentary, given this year by Sarah Rouse. Sarah is a well-known figure in the horse world and has been a very popular commentator at the event in recent years.

During the two days, more than forty Shires, Clydesdales, Suffolks, British Percherons and Ardennes horses will be taking part in a variety of activities. Weighing up to a ton and standing up to 19 hands high, these horses are prized for their good looks, gentle temperament and capacity for work.
