Donkey Show

The Donkey Show is held all day Saturday from 9am
Great show. So much going on, so much to see, you will need the whole day to get around it all"
Unfortunately we are unable to hold a Donkey Show at this year's 2021 Show

We are hoping it will return in 2022!


​There has been a Donkey Show at Heckington since 1974

Entry numbers are always high for the Donkey Show and Open Driving Class. These take place in the 8th ring and the donkeys are always around for photo opportunities during the day.

The Donkey Show brings together these gentle creatures in a show which is held on the Saturday of the Show weekend
Miniature, standard & large breed donkeys are all shown.  The Donkey classes are open to everyone, whether a member of the Donkey Breed Society or not, but note that DBS rosettes can only be awarded to donkeys owned by DBS members.  

The Donkey Show includes a young handler class and within the 12 cups and trophies in this section there is a cup for the best young handler of the year.

IMPORTANT:  EQUINE FLU VACCINATIONS
Equine Influenza and Tetanus vaccinations are a compulsory requirement for all horses attending Heckington Show.
​The requirement for the first 3 vaccinations is as follows: the first 2 vaccinations 21 – 92 days apart, a third booster between 150-215 days, and an annual booster vaccination within 365 days thereafter.
No horse should enter competitions within 7 days of an EI vaccination. Foals should commence vaccinations at 6 months old. This Rule may be subject to change from guidance from the FEI/BEF and any changes will be notified via the Showing Council and ASAO websites. The current FEI ruling is for a six monthly booster as opposed to annual; therefore it is recommended that you check before entering.
