Dormansland Horse and Dog Show

01/05/2026

We’ve been busy behind the scenes over the past few weeks getting everything ready for our 2026 event 🙌

Looking back at previous shows has brought back so many amazing memories — and we’d love for you to share yours! Whether it’s a favourite photo or a special moment, please drop it in the comments 🙏

This event has such a rich history, and we’re excited to see it continue for many years to come — raising as much as possible for charity 🎗️🙌🤩

Every year, our committee selects four charities to support—and this year, we’re doing things a little differently!

We’ve already chosen two incredible organisations: Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex and East Park RDA Group . These are both amazing charities we’ve proudly supported in previous years 🙌

Now, we’d love your help to choose the remaining two!

📸 Drop a comment below with the charity you think we should support—and tell us why it matters to you. Our committee will review all your suggestions and make the final decision 🤩

We’d especially love to hear about local charities making a difference in our community 🙏

!!THANK YOU!!

We are delighted to announce that this year's Dormansland Horse and Dog show raised a whopping £4000!

Due to the generosity of our sponsors and the large number of entries, we are able to donate £1000 to each of our chosen charities.



We hope to be back next year but in order to do so we need to expand our committee. If you are interested in being involved in the running of this long standing fundraiser please drop us a message 😊

Lost property!

Unfortunately yesterday one of our young competitors lost her brand new pink bucket. She had spent her birthday money on it and is distraught at its loss.

If you inadvertently took it home, please could you send us a message so we can return it to it's rightful owner!

What a fantastic day!

To those of you who came and supported us by entering classes - thank you!

To those who came to watch and have an ice cream - thank you!

To those who said a nice comment, or thanked a steward, your kind words are appreciated more than you know - thank you!

To our land owners East Bysshe Equestrian, for the most amazing venue -thank you!

To our photographers, Mane Focus Photography, who worked tirelessly in all weathers - thank you!

To our ring sponsors Lingfield Equine Vets, Shovelstrode Racing Stables, Ashdown Feeds, The Stables Nursery, Southern Rug Cleaning, ASRG and The Cook Family. Without you this would not be possible! Thank you!

To our class sponsors and those who generously donated prizes - thank you!

And lastly, to our absolutely fantastic band of volunteers! Without every single one of you (well us) this show wouldn't run. A family friendly show that has been running for over 70 years is only kept running by the power and generosity of volunteers, not a single person gets paid. Without us, this show is no more - so please, remember to be kind to those who give hours, days and weeks to make sure you have a fun, safe and organised day! Volunteers - thank you!

Thank you everyone for a wonderful Dormansland Horse and Dog Show 2025
