The Flying Feathers Maiden Stakes

The thunder of hooves resounded around Britain’s Lingfield Park Racecourse on Saturday as eight huge Shire horses battled for line honours in a track spectacle.

The Showerking Flying Feathers Maiden Stakes was the first Shire horse race to be staged in Britain on a racecourse.

And what a sight it was, as the gentle giants showed their turn of speed in what proved to be a closely fought contest between the first three across the line.

I loved this! As the horse I ride is named Flash, you know who I was rooting for.
