We are a passionate group of heavy horse enthusiasts committed to preserving and celebrating the legacy of heavy horses in the Braidwood and surrounding regions. Founded with the goal of promoting education, awareness, and participation in heavy horse activities, our Association brings together a community of individuals who share a love for these magnificent animals. Whether you’re an experienced
handler or a first-time exhibitor, we provide a welcoming environment for people of all ages to connect with these gentle giants. Our annual Braidwood & District Heavy Horse Show is a cornerstone of our activities, featuring classes for Clydesdales, Shires, and other heavy horse breeds. The Show is not just about competition—it’s a celebration of the role heavy horses have played in our history, from their work on farms to their continued presence in the show ring. In addition to our Show, we are involved in a range of community-focused initiatives aimed at preserving the heritage of heavy horses. We are proud to work closely with local businesses, sponsors, and like-minded organisations to ensure that these majestic horses remain an integral part of the Braidwood community for generations to come. Join us as we continue to grow, educate, and celebrate the strength, beauty, and history of heavy horses. Whether you’re interested in showing, breeding, or simply learning more, the Braidwood & District Heavy Horse Association is here to support you.
