The National Clydesdale and Heavy Horse Festival is one of Australia's largest heavy horse shows, with more than 100 classes in the show ring including harness classes, rider and led classes and stud stock. The festival shines a spotlight on heritage heavy horse breeds including Clydesdales, Shires, Percherons, Friesians, Highland Ponies, Fjords and Haflingers.
