Dalgety Show 2026 Horse Information

The Dalgety Show Horse Section is run by a group of VOLUNTEERS forming the Horse Section Committee. Any attendees or competitors wishing to help this group are more than welcome to assist with the lead up to the show or on the day. Please contact the Show Secretary on if you would like to help. This year we also had a wonderful volunteer pass away who in the past few years has completed most of our classes and ran our day. We ask that you have patience and gratitude as those that have kindly stepped in do their best.
