Fun Dog Show at Horse Sanctuary in Essex

INGATESTONE, U.K. - Aug. 22, 2023 - PRLog -- Remus Horse Sanctuary will be opening its gates on Sunday 3 September to welcome Mrs Linda Mascot, the Mayor of Chelmsford, and members of the public for its fun Dog Show and Family Open Day from 1pm to 4pm. The Dog Show will commence at 1.30pm with bookings being taken from 1pm.

The Open Day and Dog Show will take place at Little Farm, Buttsbury, near Ingatestone, with free parking on-site, and disabled access. Admission is charged at £6 per adult and £4 for children. Cream Teas can be booked in advance for £15 per person, including entry. All dogs are welcome on a lead.

The popular novelty Dog Show includes fun classes such as: Bad Hair Day and Best Sausage Catcher, along with the more meaningful - Dogs with a Disability (blind, deaf or a life-changing illness) and of course, the ever-popular Best in Show. The 1st - 6th winners will each receive a rosette.

The events at the Sanctuary are always fun and interesting for the whole family, with a children's entertainer, facepainting, live music and sing-a-long entertainment, delicious refreshments, lots of stalls, a tombola and a raffle.

The Open Days are a vital source of fundraising for the charity which, due to its location on greenbelt land, can only open to the public for a limited number of days each year.

The Sanctuary provides rehabilitation and care for around 200 animals, including horses, ponies, donkeys, goats, sheep and cats, and has been doing so since it was founded in 1983. As a result, the charity has created its 40th Anniversary Challenge this year to help raise awareness of the sheer number of animals being born to die. Details of the 40th Anniversary Challenge can be viewed at: https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/40-anniversary-challenge.

Sue Burton, founder of the Sanctuary says, "Our fun dog show always offers a new dimension to our Open Days and we look forward to welcoming our visitors to learn more about what we do here.

"Young and old always have such a great time. They get to meet our amazing animals and we give them an insight into our valuable work in a fun way."
