Meet the Shire Horse Day – Sunday 17th July
Visitors will have the chance to find out more about the gentle giants of the horse world when we stage our Meet the Shire Horse Day later this month.
The event will take place on Sunday July 17th at the shop
The farm where the shop is has been home to Shire horses for around 45 years, and has bred many award-winning animals. Foals born at the farm have moved to countries all over the world.
The event, which runs from 11am to 2pm, features plaiting displays and the chance to talk to Shire horse owner and judge Jim Yates to find out how the horses are cared for. There will also be horse-related activities for children.
Steve Croot says “There’s something quite special about Shire horses. Many of our customers love them and often ask questions about them when they come to the shop, so we thought it would be nice to have a day where visitors can get to know some of the horses and foals that live at the farm and learn more about them”
“Shire horses have been in the family for generations and have lived at Farnah House Farm for decades. Jim is renowned in the world of Shire horses, and has judged at Shire horse shows in many different countries.”
