Gates open from 8 am, classes start 8:30 am both days. Parking is out on the street off-grounds - except for disabled parking.
While the Field Days is an important event for breeders, the weekend is mainly dedicated to the working of these magnificent animals making it the perfect 'show-piece' for the general public. Long regarded as the largest and most prestigious heavy horse event in Australia, spectators can see some of the best in all areas of competition - from the plough ring to the beautifully restored horse-drawn vehicles or the skill of maneuvering a log through a tight obstacle course.
Outside the main arena is a continuous program of displays and demonstrations. The farriers sweat it out in a hot-shoeing competition, learn more about the individual breeds or watch the marvelous sight of a Clydesdale doing dressage - and that's just for starters! And in between all this, browse the stalls and find something special to take away with you or settle down in the grand stand with a coffee & a burger (or anything else from the extensive range of food & beverages on offer) and watch these wonderful horses do what they do best.
