Working Horses

Our Working Horses section celebrates the power and grace of traditional horse-drawn transport with live demonstrations throughout the rally. Watch our magnificent pair of Shire horses as they pull an authentic period carriage, showcasing the strength and steady temperament that made these gentle giants essential for heavy haulage work. Alongside them, a smaller pony demonstrates commercial delivery work, pulling a traditional trade cart of the type once seen on city streets and rural routes. Handlers will be available to talk about the horses, their training, and the history of working equines in transport and agriculture before motorisation took over.
