Attractions

One of the main ring attractions for 2010 is Mountgrace Gundogs.  With over 25 years experience as a professional gundog trainer, Les Dixon, and his team of gundogs are certain to entertain us in the main ring this year. Les will show how a team of trained gundogs work together, as well as some of the basic steps for training young dogs. He will be bringing his team all the way from Northallerton, and is a regular on the country show circuit. Les encourages audience participation, if time permits, but will be on hand all day to answer all your training questions and for you to meet the dogs up close.mountgrace-gundogs.co.uk

In addition we are pleased to welcome  The Company of Horsemen Cossacks Display.  Founded in 2001 the company of horsemen are a group of highly trained trick riders who specialize in performing dare devil stunts on horseback.  Sure to be an exciting and enlivening display, the riders push the boundaires of modern horsemanship to their limits.  The Company of Horsemen are not only famed for stunts across the country, but have a number of credits in notable films including 'Merlin', 'Black Beauty' and 'Alice in Wonderland'.  Look out for their displays in the main ring.

The Lincolnshire branch of the British Driving Society headed up by David Faulkner, are warmly welcomed into our main ring this year for a driving display to music. There can be anything from 6 to 8 carriages in the display which is both informative and entertaining for the public. The team entertain by driving movements together to popular music followed by information to the audience on each individual driver, pony and carriage. David and his team work to promote the hobby of carriage driving to a wider audience and to show the audiences that horses and ponies of all differing sizes and shapes can come together to put on the remarkable display that they now perform. From a Shire to a Shetland, everyone is welcome to participate and become members of the national body, The British Driving Society. The audiences are encouraged to come to speak to David or any member of the team to find out more.

Malhamdale Falconry, from North Yorkshire will be featuring in our main ring programme.  They are 'one of the only demonstration teams in Britain that invite the public into the performance area'.  They showcase eagles, hawks, falcons, owls and vultures and are sure to be an eye-catching attraction.malhamdalefalconry.com

We are anticipating in excess of 280 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.

We are looking forward to once more hosting a variety of Equestrian Life qualifiers in a range of horse classes.  Following the successful introduction of competitive dressage last year, we are once again holding a number of classes throughout the morning.  There will also be show jumping and gymkhana games as usual.  This year the 'in-hand' showing classes will be taking 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.

All the old favourites for our canine friends will be back.  This of course includes the terrier show, 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 are 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.
