There was a strong turnout of competitors for the equestrian events at the Stratford A&P Show.
On Friday, the first day of the three-day event, Isa Luxton-Symes was there with her horse Tilly.
Isa said they had attended the show together in previous years as well.
“I live in Lepperton,so I’ve competed a couple of times here before. What I like about it is that it’s a chill environment and it’s fun to be in. Plus, there’s always a lot of locals [who] come.”
Family friends Lily Fenton, 14, and Charlotte Mitchell, 21, also regularly attend the show, as the pair are local to the area.
“It’s a really good show. The people here are really good, and it’s a very stress-free and good environment. It’s everything you want at a good country show.”
Stratford A&P Association executive member Michelle Radford said the equestrian events were well-attended.
“We had a great turnout. The numbers were really good.”
She said the success of the event comes from the judges, sponsors and helpers.
