The show ground sits within the gallops, regularly used by horse trainers, riders, jockeys and eventers from across the UK, flanked by the beautiful grounds of Rossington Hall on The Great North Road near Bawtry.

The horses will be looking their finest with a range of in-hand and ridden showing and show jumping classes, including the Traditional Gypsy Cob Association.

In the Children’s Ring, will be the Lead Rein Pony and Fancy Dress classes, plus the unique Mountain and Moorlands.

The Annual Show gives students attending Doncaster Equine College and the NRC an opportunity also to showcase their work before they go on to work in riding schools, eventing or racing yards.
