Royal International Horse Show 2026

Jack headed off to the Royal International Horse Show this weekend, and we’re so proud of everything he achieved.

Just qualifying for one of the biggest shows in the country was a huge milestone, and competing in such a strong class with only six placings was an achievement in itself.

After an eight-hour journey, Jack stepped off the lorry fresh as a daisy, gave a lovely ride and received some fantastic feedback from the judge.

A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of Jack’s journey. It takes a whole team to achieve moments like this.

Now it’s time for a few well-earned days off before we start looking ahead to the next adventure.

With cream teas, burgers, pony rides, a bouncy castle, terrier racing, stalls, an auction, tombola, live music from St Ives Concert Band, and of course our Dog Show, there’s something for everyone! 🐾🎪

💚 Can you help? 💚

🎁 We’re still looking for Auction Prizes!
If you know a local business that could donate a voucher, gift, experience or product, we’d be incredibly grateful.

👉 Please tag a local business in the comments that you think might be be able to help, or share this post to spread the word.

🙋 We’re also looking for a few volunteers on the day.
If you could spare a little time to help as a parking attendant or if you’re a qualified first aider and would be willing to volunteer, we’d love to hear from you. Even a couple of hours would make a huge difference to the success of the event.

All proceeds from the day will go to RDA South West Cornwall, helping us continue to provide life-changing opportunities through riding and equine activities.

Thank you so much for your support—we couldn’t do it without our amazing community. We can’t wait to see you there! ❤️🐴
