Castle Kennedy Charity Horse Show is organised by the remaining members of the Castle Kennedy Horse Driving Trials committee. We are grateful to Stranraer & District Riding Club for allowing us to run the Charity Show and Show Jumping events at the Club.
The trophies presented at the Charity Show and Show Jumping events were originally presented at the Castle Kennedy Horse Driving Trials and the events are held in memory of Dr John Calvert.
TROPHIES: Due to trophies not being returned in time and some being returned in poor condition and unable to be presented on the day we have regretfully taken the decision that the championship trophies will no longer be able to be taken home by the winners. Opportunities for winners to take photographs on the day will be available. Anyone wishing to take one of the other trophies home will be able to do so, on payment of a £40 deposit which will be refunded when the trophy is returned in advance of the next Charity Show.
