South Wales Shire Horse Society
The South Wales Shire Horse Society is a UK-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the improvement and promotion of the Shire horse breed. Registered as a charity under number 519067, the society plays a pivotal role in preserving and encouraging the breeding of these iconic British heavy horses.
Purpose and Activities
The society’s primary aim is to improve the breed and promote the breeding of Shire horses, emphasizing their heritage, characteristics, and utility. It fosters an appreciation for Shire horses by organizing events and providing resources to breeders and enthusiasts.
Annual Show
One of the society's key activities is hosting the South Wales Shire Horse Annual Show, a significant event that celebrates the breed each year. The 2025 event marked the 42nd occurrence of this show. Held every first Saturday in July at Bailey Park, Abergavenny, the show exhibits the majesty and unique qualities of the Shire horse. Visitors also have the chance to see other British heavy horse breeds such as Percheron, Clydesdale, and Suffolk Punch, as well as miniature horses.
The event features not only horse classes but also a variety of family-friendly attractions, including a novelty dog show, children’s amusements, pony rides, classic cars, trade stalls, and catering facilities. Admission prices are modest, with free entry for children under 12 years and society members, encouraging accessibility and community engagement.
Role in the Shire Horse Community
The South Wales Shire Horse Society contributes to the broader network of organizations dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Shire horse breed in the UK. By supporting breeders and educating the public about the breed, the society helps maintain the Shire horse's status as Britain’s most magnificent heavy horse.
Summary
As a charity focused on a specific equine breed, the South Wales Shire Horse Society serves as a hub for enthusiasts and breeders in the region. Its ongoing yearly show and efforts to improve the breed underline its commitment to sustaining this important part of the UK’s agricultural and cultural heritage.

South Wales Shire Horse Society Welcome to The South Wales Shire Horse Society website. The aim of SWSHS is To Improve the Breed and Promote the Breeding of Shire Horses. South Wales Shire Horse Society was set up in 1983 by a group of people who were passionate about the Shire Horse breed and were concerned about its decline over several decades. Today the breed is now much more popular and refined.
