Shows and Events  

The Horkesley Park Suffolk Punches heavy horse display team is considered to be one of the best display teams of its kind in the country, with 12 fully broken working Suffolk Punches and up to 9 professional full and part time heavy horse grooms as well as commentators and, when necessary, instructors too. 

 

The team attend shows and other events of all sizes, both public and private, throughout the Eastern Region and further afield.  The Suffolk Punches are truly in every sense a “heavyweight draw” and make a great addition to events they attend. 

Our Horkesley Park Suffolk Punches are trained to the highest standard and have an exemplary safety record.  They have a steady temperament and are very people friendly, which is essential when interfacing with the general public, particularly in a “hands on” way. 

Our demonstrations are tailored to suit the requirements and budgets of a show and event organisers. We are entirely flexible and are pleased to fit in as required, whether it be for a small village fair or a large international show.

The range of what we are able to offer includes:  

  • Horse drawn parades for opening and closing ceremonies

  • A variety of main ring demonstrations

  • Static displays to enable the public to “get up close” to the Suffolk Punches; from foals to the “big boys”

  • Heavy horse equine village and display areas

  • Heavy horse drawn people carriers

  • Horse drawn timber extraction

  • Farriers heavy horse shoeing displays

  • In-hand showing displays

  • Award winning plough teams

  • Static farm animal displays

  • Static small animal displays

  • Horse drawn brewery drays

  • Horse drawn agricultural wagons

  • Horse drawn and other vintage farm equipment; static or demonstrated

  • Skill competitions using the Suffolk Punches, eg: “timber snigging”

We are able to provide some great photographs and promotional information in advance of your event to help increase your footfall and entice people to come along and join in the fun.
