This horse show is an annual event and takes place on Rye Farm Meadow, next to the River Thames.

The Abingdon Horse Show was started in 1974 by local clubs but as people have got older responsibility has transferred to the Berkshire Downs Riding Club who have been in full charge for 4 years.

They now run a large and varied event with six different arenas. Three arenas are for show jumping at different levels.

The other arenas are for ridden showing or leading by hand showing.

It was a hot day and those not taking part could laze in the sun.
