Donkey
The donkey section invites owners and enthusiasts to enter their donkeys to promote good breeding and remarkable abilities, for worthy competition. Exhibitors are a knowledgeable group of skilled donkey handlers, keen to show their best animals in the in-hand led classes, plus the working classes, before the judge. Competitors will present a fine line-up of entrants in all the donkey section classes. The coveted Supreme Champion Donkey sash is the ultimate aim of each exhibitor. However, the judge will decide who is the winner and most outstanding donkey presented in the field on the day. The donkey has an ancient history of faithful service to mankind, and is today still the most worked and appreciated animal on earth. Those who know and love the donkey breed extol their virtues and worthiness.
