The committee are extremely disappointed to announce that the 2019 Church Stretton Horse & Dog show has been cancelled.
Equine Influenza (EI) is currently spreading in the UK, with some shows already having been cancelled. With confirmed local cases of EI and on the advice of local veterinary practices the decision to cancel has been made in order to protect the interests of all attending competitors and the local equine community.
With the show now running for over fifty years this decision was not taken lightly and we apologise for any inconvenience this decision may have caused.
We do however look forward to seeing at next year’s show, details of which will be posted in due course.
There are a wide variety of classes suitable for all riders from complete novices to experienced riders. Click on the following link to view the printable schedule which contains full details on all the classes and the relevant entry forms.
