Welcome to the

Light Horse Section

 

The light horse section has over 150 classes of both ridden and in-hand horses.  There are many breeds of horses which range from the native breeds such as Highlands, welsh ponies and Connemara’s to Arabians, Irish Draught and Cobs. 

The age range of our competitors is from four to ninety four!  Our competitors travel from all over the North West to compete at their prestigious county show with some classes offering qualification for the Olympia show in December and also The Royal International Horse show. 

The different sections of horses and ponies may compete in either in-hand or ridden classes.  The in-hand classes are judged on the conformation and look of the horse.  The ridden classes are judged on the pony’s manners and way of going, as well as their condition and turnout.

There are also jumping competitions which horse and ponies jump over rustic fences as if they are on the hunting field. 

In true tradition we also hold side saddle classes and the Costume Concours D’Elegance class is a delight to see.  Traditional costume is worn by the rider whom is riding side saddle.  In the side saddle riding club class, horse and side saddle rider jump over a fence.
