Rutland Show Jumps Cancelled Due to Dry Weather, Show Still On!
With just one week to go until the highly anticipated Rutland County Show on Sunday, June 1, 2025, organisers have announced the unfortunate cancellation of all show jumping events. The decision comes after over eight weeks of continued dry weather has rendered the ground too dangerous for horses to jump safely.
This news, while disappointing for show jumping enthusiasts, highlights the dedication of the Rutland Showground team to ensuring the safety and welfare of all participants. The ground conditions have been deemed unsuitable, and the difficult but necessary decision was made to prevent potential injuries.
However, the good news for attendees is that the show will still go ahead with a full programme of other exciting events! The popular working hunter classes are scheduled to proceed as planned, taking place on a different section of the showground where conditions are suitable.
The Rutland County Show, held at the Rutland Showground, promises to be a fantastic day out for the whole family, showcasing the best of rural life in Rutland and the surrounding areas. Visitors can still look forward to a diverse range of attractions, including livestock displays, rural crafts, live music, and local food and drink.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this cherished annual event. For more information and to purchase your tickets, visit the official website at https://www.rutlandshowground.com/rutland-county-show/.
