This year Staffordshire County
Show was a little disappointing for the heavy horse enthusiast
as there was no in-hand showing. Instead spectators were limited
to classes for trade and agricultural turnouts, which were relegated
to late in the afternoon of the final day. Two classes were in
the schedule for heavy horses with a third for light trade.
Class 88 for heavy trade turnouts, of any breed either in singles,
pairs or tandems with two or four wheeled vehicles.
Class 89 for any agricultural turnout, again of any breed in
singles, pairs or tandems, this time with either a dray, cart
or any agricultural implement.
Class 90 for single of pairs of ponies or horses with either
a two wheel or four wheel light trade vehicle.
The judge for all three classes, which were sponsored by Bowman
Antique Fairs, was Mr D Worthington from Cheshire
