Over the two days of the festival , visitors will be seduced by a non-stop spectacle of the best international displays.  These will range from an exciting medieval tournament where knights in armour battle for honour, glamorous vaulting by gorgeous girls to an array of fine horsemanship by riders from all over the world. 

 

You can now look at the final programme for the main ring.  Click here to see the attractions for Saturday and here to see Sunday's programme.  Don't forget there will also be a full programme of dog and horse exhibits in the smaller, interactive ring where you can get up close and talk to the exhibitors. 

 

 

 The Independent Horse Extreme Demo Team will be appearing, with their amazing range of trick and stunt riding, including horse-surfing.  Take a look at these pictures, taken at their base in Cornwall, to sample what will be on offer.
