AN INVITATION TO THE 36th WALMER HORSE AND DOG SHOW – SUNDAY 16 JUNE

The Walmer Horse and Dog Show returns to Walmer Castle on Sunday 16 June for the 36th year and the Show organisers will be pleased to welcome you. Last year the Show committee was delighted to make significant donations to our chosen charities, thanks to the support of our many competitors and local business sponsors. We presented £1,300 to the Martha Trust and £500 to the Lord Whisky Sanctuary Fund. We also supported Joanne Dare who ran the London Marathon this year in aid of Action on Pre-Eclampsia.

We have again been well supported by local businesses, by family sponsors and by advertisers, notably Barretts Land Rover who are our headline sponsors this year. We are grateful also to English Heritage who have made the grounds of Walmer Castle available and we thank them for their co-operation and hospitality.

The event has been made possible by many local sponsors including our main ring sponsors; the White Mill Veterinary Centre, Hamilton Grove Ltd, Simon Phillips Hay and Straw and Barville Farm. The dressage competition is sponsored by The Riding Habit in Eastry, in memory of Alison Small who died suddenly last summer. The Dog Show is sponsored by CobbyDog. These and the many individual class sponsors have underwritten the Show costs such that the majority of the entry fees will be available to support the chosen charities. We are most grateful to them.

The Show committee is again led by Show Director, Jamie Sheehy and the other directors Mary Bowden, Pam Steed and Simon Pollard. The competitive schedule is similar to last year’s and may be found on our website www.thewalmerhorseanddogshow.co.uk.

The Horse Show starts on Sunday morning at 9:00 with a sequence of jumping competitions designed to test riders of increasing competence, through fun combination events to the prestigious Open Jumping event. In the show rings, also starting at 9:00 the competitions cater for young riders and handlers through family events to the formal dressage classes. A fancy dress competition completes the range of activities.

The Dog Show starts at 1:00 in the afternoon and features a range of classes for pedigree and novelty dogs. Entries will be taken from 11:30 in the morning.

Trade and catering stalls complete the day’s offer. So please come along to support the Show, whether as a competitor or as a spectator. There is no entry fee to the Show grounds and parking is also free. Those interested in competing may see the full schedule on the Show’s website, www.thewalmerhorseanddogshow.co.uk. The printed schedule is now also published and can be found in the majority of local riding centres and tack shops.
