St Heliers Heavy Horse Field Days Inc. St Heliers Heavy Horse Field Days are no longer running, our last Field Days were 2021. Thank you! 25th Anniversary year!

St Heliers Heavy Horse Field Days was formed in 1996 and is a great weekend for people with an interest in breeds like Clydesdales, Shires, Percherons and Draught horses.

With great sadness, we post to share that the St Heliers Heavy Horse Field Days Inc has sought voluntary cancellation of the association.

Over the past several years, the St Heliers Heavy Horse Field Days Inc Committee have worked tirelessly to find a suitable venue to hold the Field Days, following the challenges in using the St Heliers Correctional Facility Grounds. This has been difficult as we have tried to balance holding the full range of ploughing and working events, while trying to attract competitors and community spectators.

As the Committee membership dwindled, it became apparent that holding an event was becoming increasingly unlikely. Therefore, a proposition was recently passed to cancel the organisation, with assets distributed to support other heavy horse events.

This was an extremely difficult decision, and I want to particularly note my thanks to all members, committees and sponsors for their support and contribution over the past 27 years. The contribution by all has strengthened the heavy horse passion for many and provided opportunities for us all to share this passion with the community.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that we will not be holding a St Heliers Heavy Horse Field Days event in 2023.

We ended the 2022 year with optimism that we may be able to return to our previous grounds and explored this option, and others, in hope that we could return to the Upper Hunter for our event. Unfortunately, these opportunities have not transpired. Through our due diligence, we noted that the requirements given to us for using the ground at St Heliers Correctional Facility would mean it would be difficult and onerous for competitors and spectators to access the grounds and safely compete. This is very disappointing to the committee, who have spent many hours seeking and investigating opportunities.

We hope that further searching this year may provide us with a new ground that meets our requirements for 2024.

I would like to express deep gratitude to the Committee members who have made this difficult decision and thank supporters for their understanding.

Please contact Josh Gilbert for any enquiries on 0432 260 024.
