The Hackney Horse & Pony Driving Display

The Hackney Horse Society was formed in 1883 by a group of individuals who were keen to promote the breeding of Hackneys.  The Hackney Horse & Pony are currently classified as “critical” on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust’s List.

The Hackney is a very versatile breed of horse and pony.  It is more well know for pulling wagons and carts but is getting recognised more in the fields of eventing, riding, scurrying and endurance.  Lots more to come from this amazing breed.

Come and watch the drivers demonstrate the amazing elegance of this wonderful breed. They love crowd participation so clap and cheer as much as you can when you see them in the ring!
