12th & 13th July 2008

This year (2008) will be the 115th running of Chard Show. The Show is going from strength to strength and in 2005 we became a two-day show to accomodate extra classes but still give room for parking and working in.

This year we have HOYS qualifying classes for Miniature Horses, SHP, WHP, SP, LR, FR, Hacks, Cobs, Riding Horses.

Once again we will be holding the Burghley Loddon Young Event Horse Qualifying classes.

We also have a BYEH qualifier, ex racehorse classes, BSPS show ponies, NPS ridden and inhand, CHAPS, Cherif, Ridden Hunters, Working Hunters & Cobs, Veterans, Side saddle, unaffiliated showing, jumping,gymkhana and a fun dog agility.

Vivien Butler has resigned after 20 years as Show Secretary and we are very grateful to her for all the work she has done over the years.

Please note that our new Show Secretary is Mrs. Pru Rose, Old Castle Farm, Buckland St. Mary, Chard, Somerset, TA20 3JZ, email: rose@oldcastlefarm.co.uk.

Thank you to Volunteers!

A show as big as Chard relies on the generosity of a large number of volunteers who give up their time to help before, during and after the show.
The committee would like to offer their very sincere thanks to everybody who gave up their time to help us last year. We owe you all an enormous debit of gratitude as without you the show could not run. I hope we will see you all at this year's show.

If anyone new would like to volunteer to help on Show Days this year (2008) please contact one of the Committee members.
