In a new addition for the 2023 event, Equestrian’s Got Talent will take place in aid of Riders Minds on Saturday evening, where top riders will showcase their lesser-known skills and provide a night to remember.
On the final day of the event (Sunday 12 November) spectators can enjoy performances from the Hughes family, Oliver and Geoff, and Ben and Jay. The times are the same as for the Saturday, both in the morning and afternoon.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy the How to Yard with expert tips on stable management, plus the Red Gorilla Meet & Greet area. Timetables for the How To Yard and Red Gorilla Meet & Greet will be released by Your Horse Live next week and also shared on the Your Horse website.
