NEW classes and record prize money mean equine classes at the Great Yorkshire Show are set to attract an exceptionally high calibre of competition this year.
The three-day event, which takes place from July 13 to 15 in Harrogate, is expected to attract about 2,000 entries in the equine section alone.
New for 2010 is the Top of the North Supreme Championship, with a prize of £1,500 for the supreme ridden horse of the show.
The premier in-hand class, the Cuddy Supreme Championship, will again draw the highest quality entries from across the country.
The retrained racehorse class is another new introduction, sponsored by Mark Johnston Racing. Another addition this year is first ridden mountain and moorland for mares or geldings aged four or over.
The deadline for equine entries is Tuesday, May 4.
