2008 Horse Event Results
The official 2008 horse event results are available to view online. Congratulations to the winners and thanks go to all the competitors taking part in the events over the weekend. We look forward to seeing you compete again this year.

Thank you!
The 2008 show has been a great success with a record number of visitors. A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make it an event to remember, including those who helped set up the show, run stalls, put on displays, competed in the many events or came along to have fun.

Horse Event Schedule
The 2008 Schedule is now available to view online. We look forward to seeing you at this year's show. Entries should be submitted by 23rd June, using the Entry Form.

Help Wanted!
The success of the Show depends upon the amount of help we can get to set up, run and take down the Show. If you can help then please let us know.

Scarecrow Competition
The scarecrow competition is now in its fourth year and once again there will be a category for "Scarespoons" to encourage more entries from our younger visitors. Based on a wooden spoon, these should be easier to design, create and transport to the Show.

Go Kart Derby
Wondering what to do with the wheels on your old pram or pushchair?
Get together with your Mum and Dad to design and build an entry for the Go-Kart Derby.

2008 Programme Design Winners
Children at St Nicholas CE Primary School were invited to design the cover illustration for the 2007 Horse Show programme. The committee were delighted with the entries and really enjoyed looking at the wonderful pictures. Choosing the winners was more difficult than ever.

Scarecrow Competition

You can take part in the Hurst Horse Show & Country Fayre Scarecrow Competition. All you need to do is build a scarecrow which will be suitable for one of the categories detailed below.

Your entry does not need to be a traditional scarecrow as we know it, you are free to let your imagination run wild. Why not make a scarecrow of someone famous? You can make a scarecrow from virtually anything. Local traders could use scarecrows to effectively highlight their particular business, drawing on the theme of the business for creative inspiration.

Scarespoon Competition

This year we have introduced a new category to the competition - "Scarespoons" - smaller scarecrows based around wooden spoons.

The competition entrants will be judged on the show field on Sunday 24th June at 11:30a.m. A designated area will be assigned for the display of the entries and all entries must be in that area prior to the judging being started. The winner of each category will receive a prize.

Scarecrow

Entries can be submitted either to Duncan Kendall C/O St. Nicholas Primary School, Hurst in advance or at the show on the day. Entries submitted in advance will cost £1 per entry form. If you submit your entry on the day of the show then it will be £1.50.

Guidelines for Entry

  1. Scarecrows and Scarespoons will be judged on strength, durability to the weather, imagination and character.
  2. All entry fees must be paid prior to the start of the judging.
  3. All scarecrows should be in the designated area at the show prior to judging commencing on Sun 24th June 11:30a.m.
