VISITORS to the Hampshire Country Show enjoyed a real taste of the great outdoors.

Organisers from Living Heritage pulled out all the stops with entertaining show- jumping events, horseball - a cross between rugby and basketball for horseriders, puppet shows from Pinxton Puppets and more.

The event took place on Sunday and Monday at Broadlands in Romsey.

For those who love their food, every type of country produce available was on offer to sample and buy, and dog-lovers could watch a whole series of fast and furious canine events like flyball and sheepdog handling.

Managing director of Living Heritage, Mark Hulme, said: "The support we have received from local entertainers and craft and trades people has been incredible in Hampshire. It meant we achieved a real show feel to the whole event."
