The Warrington Horse Show took up residence on a new site this year, at Tabley Park, near Knutsford.

The beautiful parkland was a fine setting for Warrington Horse Show’s celebration of all things equestrian. It combined top showing and competition action with an entertaining programme of family attractions.

Riders from all around the UK - of all ages and varying levels of skill - competed for the prestigious prizes.

From the spectacular national and international Show Jumping competitions to extensive showing classes and enthralling displays, it has a breadth and variety which will appeal to everyone in the equestrian world.

Falconry displays, miniature ponies and spectacular Spanish horses are amongst the other attractions and for the young (and young at heart) there is the ever-popular Funfair. The Show encompasses a huge variety of attractions.
