Heavy Horses

Saturday is the day to come and see the Heavy Horse Classes
“Fantastic show - one of the best we have been to for a long time"
Heavy Horses 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 prepare and display their animals in front of a judge, who with an experienced eye would pick a winner….

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.
