The Castlemaine and District Agricultural Society’s Clydesdale Foal Filly and Mare Show will return to Castlemaine’s Camp Reserve on Sunday April 16.
This will be combined with its Miniature Horse Pony and Shetlands Feature Show.
Castlemaine and District Agricultural Society secretary Deb Hamilton said the society would celebrate its 169th anniversary this year and was thrilled to see its April event return following covid and the flooding of the grounds.
“Our last Agricultural Show was in 2019 and managed to have our last April Feature Show in 2021. We are extremely excited to be preparing for its return this April,” Deb said.
There will be four rings this year. One is the much-loved Pure bred Clydesdales, the true gentle giants of the horse world. Ranging from foals, yearlings, two year olds, three year olds and over, and over four years. Long reining and ridden.
Ring Two will be the Miniature Horses, Ponies, small horses and Shetlands. A delight for children to see.
Rind Three is part bred Clydesdales and part bred Gypsy Cobbs, also pure Gypsy Cobbs.
Ring Four will be the Harness Sections for small horses, ponies as well for the larger trades turnouts for big horses.
Gate admission is $5 Adults, Children Under 16 free. Judging starts from 10am.
Refreshments and food will be available and supplied by Castlemaine Lions Club.
