More riders are still welcome to join in the bid to create the world’s largest parade of hobby horses and their riders.

A well-wisher has sent a big parcel to boost the record attempt at Hurst Show and Country Fayre.

The parcel contained 13 beautiful hobby horses made by hobby horse fan David Ryan, 86, for a jubilee display in Lancashire. His daughter Elizabeth Howard and her husband Philip live in Wokingham.

The Guinness World Record attempt is on Hurst Show’s second day, Sunday June 26.

Vikki Randles of the show said: “The current record stands at 250 people so we’re calling on all adults, children, friends, family and ‘neigh’-bours to take part and exceed that.

“We can lend riders a limited number of horses on a first come first served basis. Otherwise we’re encouraging people to make their own or source second hand.

“Adults and children are welcome to take part. Children need to be able to walk and hold their hobby horses independently. We’re encouraging pre-booking online. Riders should go to Martineau Green off School Road at 1.15pm for the parade at 2pm.

“We’re grateful to David for lending us his beautiful hobby horses.” Reading Scottish Pipe Band’s youth section will lead the parade.

Details of the record attempt, along with a pre-booking form, are at https://www.hurstshow.uk/hobbyhorse
