Organisers of an annual Suffolk horse show are "absolutely thrilled" with the support this year's event received.
The 127th Framlingham Horse Show took place at the town's Castle Meadow on Saturday, July 15, and featured a host of equine displays including a range of light horse competitions, carriage driving and Suffolk Punch contests.
Framlingham Livestock Association organises the event - which is held free of charge and which can be traced back to 1879 when some Worlingworth gentlemen decided to hold an event.
Chairman Carl Wright said: "We are absolutely thrilled with the support we had from competitors and spectators alike.
"All classes were full and with so many people turning out to watch the Castle Meadow had a real feeling of celebration.
"On behalf of the committee, I’d like to extend our gratitude to all our competitors, sponsors, stewards and everyone else who came together to make the day such a success."
A weather warning for high winds meant the show committee had to take additional steps on the day. Unfortunately this meant that the driving classes could not enjoy their traditional drive through the market square to Castle Meadow.
Instead the classes were judged and trophies presented at Framlingham College where the driving is based.
Spectators were treated to Suffolk Punch grand parade and a display by The Hamilton Bloodhounds .
Honorary show director Nathan Nobbs said: "The show had all the components of a quintessential Suffolk day out, from light horse classes, the iconic Suffolk Horse, side stalls and ice cream.
"We had over 30 individual Suffolk Horse entries including one in full harness which shone in the July sun.
"We were delighted with the turnout from competitors and from members of the public and are looking forward to planning next year’s show."
