Committed horseman John is devoted to his shire horses Richard and George, who live at stables near Grimsby that John built for them. Shires are now a rare breed, and John fears for their future. By competing at Lincolnshire’s Heckington Show, he hopes to raise awareness of their champion qualities and rack up some rosettes with help at the reins from friend Terri, who is showing for the first time. \n\nAlso competing are farming couple Lucy and Oliver, whose family farm is starting to reap the rewards of their hard work in breeding healthy shire foals, one of which will be making a star appearance with her mum in the judging ring. Show day has its stresses but also its successes for these determined competitors.
