THE horse section of the Coffs Harbour Show Society is in full swing preparing for a large show after many country shows have had to cancel due to fires, Covid-19 restrictions and floods.

Horse owners desperately want to get out and compete, so this year the Show’s horse section is adding more classes than ever.

Entertainment will include a musical quadrant on Saturday afternoon presented by the Coffs Harbour Pony Club in honour of Frances Blake.
