Knight on horse

Horse Boarding

An exciting extreme sport is back.
A boarder on what can only be described as a big skate board with bigger wheels attached to a horse and rider, with speeds of over 30 mph around a series of obstacles.
The main aim is speed without touching or hitting the obstacles or penalty points are incurred. The fastest lap is the winner, sounds simple yes but these guys have no fear and on more than one occasion the boarder becomes detached from the horse and sometimes in spectacular fashion.

Falconry

Falconry

Watch these stunning birds of prey as they swoop and soar above the above your heads. Handled by some of the UK’s top falconers, under the leadership of Ben Long Falconry, you will learn how they are flown, used in sport, worked with dogs and you will enjoy our pageant of riders, birds and dogs, all in Tudor costume, and demonstrating falconry on horseback – just as it used to be done.

Again, you are welcome to meet the birds afterwards in the designated Falconry Marquee.

JPL Racing

One of my favourite attractions will be joining us at the Wiltshire Country and Food Festival.

A must for all of you racing enthusiast with pony and young jockey racing and jumping hurdles around the race course – It’s a mini Grand National.

Gundogs and Falconry Display

Don’t miss the incredible synergy of these gun dogs and birds of prey working together.  Although the dog is a natural predator to the bird, with Paul Makepeace handling the dogs, and Ben Long handling the birds they work together as dogs and birds did in Tudor times.

Walk Up Shoot

Have you ever wondered exactly what happens on a shoot?  This is your chance to find out. With their team of gun dogs in various stages of training, Paul Makepeace of Trochery Gundogs, and Aubrey Ladyman will be taking us through how the dogs are used at every stage, from beating with spaniels, flushing the birds out, through to pointing and retrieval in a variety of tricky situations. They will also be demonstrating how gun dogs – both Spaniels and Retrievers – are trained.

Angling Demonstration

We may be lacking in water in the Countryside Arena, but our angling experts Peter Johnson and Barry Grantham will be welcoming young volunteers into the arena to learn about fly casting in this informative demonstration.

If this grabs your interest, head over to our angling marquee where you can book your own individual tuition or ask any questions of our angling experts from Trout and Salmon Conservation UK or the Angling Trust.

Chase The Bunny

A firm Living Heritage Favourite! If your dog loves to chase this could be their moment! Dogs are matched to general size and speed and race to chase the lure around the arena. Great fun to both take part in and to watch – especially when the dogs run in completely the opposite direction, or find a more interesting smell. Don’t worry: your dog won’t be the first and certainly won’t be the last!
