The show has relocated to a 20-acre site situated at The Coilyhill Road, Killyleagh, by kind permission of show president, Robert Morrison.
Schedules are already available to download from the show's
website at www.Killyleaghshow. co.uk
If you don't have access to the internet, text your name and address to 07979 796 107 and show secretary, Fiona Morrow will post one out to you.
The schedule contains its usual wide variety of classes to ensure that everyone has a great day out.
The Horse and Pony jumping rings will get underway at 10am while the clear round jumping ring kicks off at 9am and will run throughout the day.
At 9.30am the ponies will be the first to tackle the popular working hunter course constructed by Mr David McClurg and this ring will run throughout the day ending with the very competitive horse championship in the hopefully, not-too-late, afternoon.
Again, the riding horses are usually well supported and this should be no exception this year with the show coming, as it does, just before Balmoral Show, the first major outdoor show of the year.
Meanwhile, for the ridden ponies, the very well supported series of family pony, lead rein, first ridden and turnout classes kicks off at 10am while the show hunter ponies will be catered for later in the day and this year have the added incentive of the opportunity to get their hands on the show's prestigious Carr Cup, which committee members have decided will go to this sector of the show this year.
Ensuring that all sizes of the equine spectrum get a look in during the day the Clydesdales classes will commence at 11am with competitors keen to pick up points for the Northern Ireland Show Association's Geoffrey Tanner Championship. Meanwhile, the European Miniature Horse Association will be staging its own range of classes in a spectacle which is popular with the younger visitors to the show.
For those who fancy a different kind of horse power, the vintage tractors and stationary engines will be out in force and if all this activity works up an appetite there will be catering available on the field.
As usual, proceeds of the show will be donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care and representatives from the charity will be on hand at the entrance gate to collect for this very worthy cause. Entry fees for the day are £8 per class for horses and £6 for ponies.
