Barbury International and the Wiltshire County Fair

On Sunday July 11th I visited the 6th year of the Barbury International horse trials which has grown to be one of the most popular UK Summer events featuring many of the world's best horses and riders as they prepare for the world championships and ultimately the Olympics in London.

This year the event was combined with the first Wiltshire County Show for 40 years. I was delighted to be supporting this event which focused on the important role played by farming and the Army in our county. However, my main role was to judge an animal show called ‘farm factor'. The winners, pictured here, were from Burbage Primary School who made a stunning scale model illustrating their ideas on farming - including an amazing dry stone wall! Well done year 6!
