Country shows, horse shows, heavy horses, days out

This is one to the very best days out. The Moreton Show is a very traditional one day Agricultural and Horse Show which is held on the first Saturday in September each year in Moreton-in-the -Marsh. It is one of the largest one-day agricultural shows in the UK and attracts over 20,000 visitors each year. For the horse enthusiast, there are no less than 66 classes in 6 different rings and, as the show includes qualifiers for HOY, the standard of competition is very high. The Hunters are a particular personal favourite. This year, Carl Hester is judging the championship.
