There is a general ethos that no particular breed of heavy horse should be favoured above another and in fact, the association activities welcome all working horses into the fold. We have had in the past, Cobs and even Shetlands being put through their paces at our working events and have even said donkeys and mules would add a sense of contrast. Having said this, we call ourselves a heavy horse association because that's what we are.
As an association we take an active interest in the development and training of young people, they being the next generation of horse men and women. We hold an annual 'young handlers day' where youngsters are divided into to age groups and compete for 2 superb trophies.
Our newsletter to members is very well known and is called the Whisperer, after the name given to the old order of horsemen at the turn of the century.
You do not have to be a horse owner to join the association, enthusiasts are welcomed for their input and support and in turn we hope we can give value for money in encouraging their future involvement with these magnificent animals
