Spectators searched in wonder as numerous horses raced throughout the roadways. The historical occasion has actually been going on for over 800 years, with the taking a trip neighborhood and residents congregating to take in the sunlight and phenomenon.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary reported that the occasion went without a drawback. The force worked along with Hampshire County Council, Winchester City Council, Wickham Chamber of Trade, RSPCA and World Horse Welfare to make sure positive engagement with the taking a trip neighborhood.

Chief Inspector Chris Spellerberg said: ‘Our aim has always been to help maintain a safe environment for all communities, visitors and residents so everyone could enjoy the day. As part of our planned approach we conducted community focused patrols within the main event and in surrounding communities.

‘No arrests were made and there was no requirement to use police powers. No crimes or anti-social behaviour was reported. We estimate the event attracted around 2000 people.’ The primary parts of the reasonable concluded at 5pm; a cops spokesperson said the majority of the participants left around that time.

The roadway closures – which covered the A334 and the roundabout junction with the A32 – were lifted soon later on.

A representative for the RSPCA said: ‘A team from the RSPCA, along with World Horse Welfare, the police, a vet and other agencies attend the Fair to offer welfare advice, support and education at the event. All the agencies work closely throughout the day to give advice and guidance where appropriate and engage with those in attendance.

‘We would like to say thank you to all of our partner charities who come together at Wickham Horse Fair every year. It is a real team effort, and a reminder of what we can achieve together for animal welfare.’
