Horse manure in the middle of Lombard Street?

Not every horse came in a horse box. Some trotted in from Drayton and maybe even further.

The Abingdon Show was started in 1974 by local clubs. For the last two years the event has been run by the Berkshire Downs Riding Club.

I would guess there were three hundred horses there. Large ones…

and small ones. It all took place at Rye Farm Meadow beside the River Thames in Abingdon.
