Heavy Horses

Heavy Horses

Heavy horse classes have been a part of the Heckington Show since its very early days. Various breeds of Heavy Horses provided the power to work the land and to haul produce on farms and around the countryside. In a tradition that continues today, owners would prepare and display their animals in front of a judge, who with an experienced eye would pick a winner….
