Wanborough Horse Show

The Wanborough Horse Show has been running for more than 50 years and has grown from a small village show to one that is recognised throughout the county. Over the years the show has moved around the village and last year we moved to our current one at
Ridgeway Stables on the road to Foxhill.

This years Horse Show is scheduled for Saturday 19 May and barring a couple of tweaks will follow the same format as last year show. Due to the continued popularity of dressage locally we are adding a novice class and introducing two new ridden showing classes, side saddle and Western riders.

Wanborough Horse Show Classes

There are six rings of which two hold 11 jumping classes, catering for the very novice jumpers at 1’6″ up to the more experienced horses and riders able to jump 3’6″. Not to forget the dogs…we also hold a horse & hound class. If your horse needs a bit of support or encouragement, why not enter the pair’s class with a more experienced friend?
