THE MONTHLY Ilkley Horse Shows recommence with the pre-season show on Sunday.

The shows are held on the third Sunday in each month until September and are open to both members and non members of Ilkley and District Riding Association, with non-members paying a small premium on entry fees.

From the show in May, members are awarded points for each class they enter with the awards being presented at the annual dinner in November.

A full schedule can be downloaded from the Association’s website at idra.org.uk. Several classes qualify for National Shows.

The shows are held at Nell Bank, Denton Road, Ilkley LS29 0DE, with each show starting at 9am. Spectators are welcome and there is no entry fee to the ground.
