Open to members and non-members of the IDHS (GB)
The closing date for entries is September 2: no late entries will be accepted.

The Show Committee under the Directorship of Paul Halliwell, is pleased to announce that the Schedule for our 30th Annual Breed Show is now available to download.

Paper copies are only available for anyone who does not have access to the internet.

We have listened to comments from previous years and hope that competitors will benefit from some of the changes we’ve made to the Schedule and to the timetable for this year.

There are THREE documents that you will need if you plan to enter the show.

1. The Schedule;
2. The entry form; *
3. The stable booking form. *

Please make sure that you download all three if you wish to enter the show. (* 2 + 3 are one download)

This is a new venue, and this year, stables are being booked and paid for direct with Weston Lawns, who can also supply suitable bedding for a charge.

If you need any guidance regarding the Schedule, or if you can offer help with stewarding or in any other capacity (yes, please….lots of help desperately needed! See below) contact Ellen Walton: 01430 810692 between 9 am and 10 pm.
