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.
