Suffolk Punch horses at the Hadleigh Show 2009

Afternoon!

Yesterday myself and the wife got roped in to help out on the RGT stand (Retired Greyhound Trust). It took place at the Hadleigh Show which is an agricultural show. You know the kind, horses, dogs, farm machinery, cows and a beer tent....

Suffolk has its own kind of heavy horse, The Suffolk Punch. They are beautiful, heavy, big arsed horses. They are an endangered species as there are not many places now where they breed them. And almost no-one uses them on the land anymore. Shame, as they are stunning huge horses... They picture above is of the horse judging. The horses were all beautifully prepared and looked great... ( Coming from a dutchman who has eaten horse that is saying a lot... hahahaha..)

This one was laughing its arse off after it had won!

Here it is being led around the show ring...

Being led away after the show...

Another one being trotted around...

Nbr 1 being judged...

The horse doing a spot of dancing... Hey, I don't know, I know naff all about horses but I did enjoy this part. They looked beautiful. If you get a chance to see them go for it. They might not be around for much longer if no-one steps in and saves the breed...

Taraa,

Alex.
