Borders Festival of the Horse: 16th - 26th May 2008
The thunder of hooves will soon be heard again all over the Scottish Borders, heralding the start of the SEIB Borders Festival of the Horse! This unique festival attracts visitors from all over the country by an 11-day gourmet choice of equestrian events for riders and spectators. The festival is organised by the Borders branch of BHS Scotland and is sponsored by the specialist equestrian insurance brokers SEIB. Scottish Borders Council and Forestry Commission Scotland also support the festival.
Enjoy exhilarating guided rides and warm hospitality at our friendly and comfortable Horses Welcome B&Bs during this year's festival. Treat yourself to a short break and spend quality time with your horse - you both deserve it!
Festival highlights this year include horse logging demonstrations and magic performances of Les Amis D'Onno - featuring beautiful Friesian horses and a cheeky Fjord pony. New events to look out for are BHS TREC and a talk by well-known writer and producer Alistair Moffat. Popular events of the festival such as the Grand Competition Day and an opportunity to see our gentle giants at Singlie Farm are back in the calendar of events.
Come and join in a true celebration of everything that makes the Borders “Scotland’s Horse Country”!
