The Thame Horse and Country Show is fast approaching and will be held on Thursday 15th September 2016.
The show will be a replacement to the long-running agricultural event with the main attraction of the new-look event being a large horse show featuring all sizes, types and breeds of horses competing. Miniature horses right through to shire horses will be on display while there will also be show jumping, scurry driving and donkeys. As well as this there will be a display of alpacas and rare breeds and a Shetland pony agility display.
There is also a dog show plus a “scrufts” qualifying heat for anyone to bring along their non-pedigree dog with the chance to qualify for the final at Crufts.
Meanwhile in the Countryside Arena there will be terrier racing, , a display from world champion whip cracker Ben Hughes, birds of prey and local hunts.
The local farmers market will be attending with lots of tasty fare to sample and buy, plus there will be a number of other food outlets and bars available.
Thame Hub caught up with show organiser Karoline Thorpe, who had the following to say:
“This alternative Show is designed to bring people together from all walks of life to enjoy seeing a variety of animals & attractions, plenty of things to see, even some things to have a go at, this show will hopefully have something for everyone, and with FREE admission you can't go wrong, so please come and spend the day with us on Thursday 15th September.”
