Ring 1 – Main Ring Acts (see Main Ring)
The Stampede Stunt Company
We are pleased to welcome the Stampede Stunt Company to Revesby for 2012. Formed by local girl Zana Cousins, the Stampede Stunt Company will thrill you with their fearless jousting. A team of professional riders use trained stunt horses to deliver the ‘Tournament of Champions’, a fast and furious jousting show that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Make sure you have a ringside position to catch all the action!
Paws for Thought Dog Display Team
The Paws for Thought Display Team were formed in 1998 by ex-police dog handler Stuart Brace, and they pride themselves on providing entertainment for the whole family. They have performed at Crufts and on various television programmes including Britain’s Got Talent and Channel 4 Pet Roadshows. Their team consists of dogs from a variety of breeds, including a Jack Russell, Doberman, Lhasa Apso, Whippet, Basset Hound, Miniature Schnauzer, Boxer, Pointer, Collie, Labrador and Kelpie. From jumping through fire to ladder walking and obedience, their displays will keep you hooked and may even require some audience participation, particularly from children! Watch out for their new act for 2012 – Alfie the Jack Russell displays his abseiling ability!
Ridgeside Falconry
We are very pleased to welcome back to Revesby the largest mobile falconry display team in the country. Along with their ever popular flying displays, Ridgeside will also have a static display of approximately 15 Birds of Prey from around the world, including owls, falcons, hawks, eagles and vultures. Watch out for the spectacular displays in the main ring as audience participation is required! Last time Ridgeside came to Revesby they attracted huge crowds and we are very much looking forward to their wonderful displays this year.
SALMON & TROUT ASSOCIATION (LINCOLNSHIRE BRANCH)
We are excited to once again welcome the Salmon and Trout Association to Revesby.
They promise to provide a host of entertainment, from their static display to the two
main ring demonstrations. The static display will feature vintage fishing tackle and
fly tying demonstrations, amongst other items. Alongside this display, they will be
running a casting competition with prizes and trophies for the best adult and junior.
In addition there will be casting demonstrations throughout the day.
Contact Barry Grantham on 01522 878317 for further details.
We have in excess of 250 tradestands from around the country, offering a range of goods from homewares to garden design and furniture, crafts and leather goods to quality artwork. There will be a range of clothing, local produce and also animal accessories along with various exhibitions and demonstrations around the showground.
Following the successful introduction of competitive dressage in 2009 last year we held a number of classes throughout the morning and we will do so again in 2012. There will continue to be a range of in hand and ridden showing classes including show jumping. Last year the 'in-hand' showing classes took place in a dedicated 'in-hand' ring, close to all the other horse classes. Let's not forget the fancy dress that as usual will take place in the main ring. We always have a marvellous turnout and expect 2012 to be no exception!
All the old favourites for our canine friends are back for 2012 . This of course will include the exemption dog show, novelty classes, dog agility, gun dog scurry and not forgetting the terrier racing which will take place in the main ring as usual.
We will be very grateful to the Masters of the South Wold Foxhounds and the East Lincs Bassett Hounds for once again allowing their packs to parade in the main ring.
