I Went From Pony Club Kid to Main Stage at the London International Horse Show!

One of the best days of the year! Here’s what went on behind the scenes at London International Horse Show... This video’s a little later than planned due to some technical issues behind the scenes, but I’m pleased to finally share a look at an incredible day at the London International Horse Show! I was invited on stage with the Pony Club to do a live farrier demonstration. Members from the Vine branch had the opportunity to get hands on and try removing a shoe! They asked some brilliant questions and really got involved. It was great to see so much interest from the next generation! During the demo, I spoke about hoof care and shared some practical tips on keeping horses’ feet in good condition. I grew up in the Chiddingfold Farmers branch, which played a huge part in developing my passion for horses and shaping what I do today. Being part of this event felt like everything coming full circle! I also took part in the Jockey Grip Test with Frankie Foster and Great British Racing. The strength jockeys need is incredible, but I held my own! Thanks again to the Pony Club for having me! A brilliant experience all round! Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever been to LIHS or if you’re part of the Pony Club! 📲 Follow Sam: TikTok: @samdracott_farrier Instagram: @samdracott_farrier Facebook: Sam Dracott Farrier 📧 For all commercial and business enquiries: [email protected] ABOUT SAM Sam Dracott, a UK-based Registered Farrier with 13 years of experience, has transformed his craft into a global phenomenon.
