South West Christmas Equine Fair

THE COSSACKS ARE COMING!

The exciting Devil's Horsemen, headed up by Gerard Naprous and his son Daniel, are set to thrill visitors to the South West Christmas Equine Fair at Westpoint, Exeter on Saturday 24th & Sunday, 25th November, with the frenzied pace of their stunning Cossack routine. Both Gerard and Daniel are top stunt men in the film and show business, with Daniel recently playing the part of Amant in the blockbuster "First Knight" and also appearing in the Bond film "The World is Not Enough".

Also appearing in the Supreme Equine Arena at Westpoint will be Australian David Stuart, Neil Pye and Charlotte Dennis demonstrating the Parelli Natural Horsemanship. The most advanced training method worldwide, the Pat Parelli Savvy System teaches both the human and the horse. Can you control your horse anywhere, any time, without a bit in its mouth? Want to know more? Then come and discover the Parelli secrets at the South West Equine Fair. Also appearing in the Arena will be John Lassetter and Charlotte Lassetter, international dressage trainers, competitors and both inspired teachers. They'll be demonstrating that while dressage has a serious side, it can also be fun!

If it's colour you're looking for at the Fair, then watch out for the eye-catching 16 horse parade by the South West branch of the British Skewbald and Piebald Association or, if it's heavy horses that turn you on, then the renowned Cyril Knowles Shires from Bovey Tracey, Devon are bound to fit the bill! This successful team has won most UK championships, including the National Shire Show Championship for the past two years.

Free lectures will take place in the Top Equestrian Lecture Theatre (seating 50,) featuring Margrit Coates, animal healer, Robbie Richardson on medical farriery and Roy Burek, Managing Director of Charles Owen & Co, discussing Rider Safety and head wear.

A complete trade stand sell-out, this year's South West Christmas Equine Fair is poised for yet another record show!
Show sponsors are Western Morning News, Battle, Hayward & Bower, Mole Valley Farmers, Intervet, Devon Life, Martin Collins Enterprises and BETA.
