A massive ‘Dash ‘n’ Splash’ pool for dogs is just one of the unusual attractions at the Only Paws and Horses show in Kent.
Held on the Whit Bank Holiday, the show features a K9Aqua Zone as well as horse and hound competitions, Western Riding displays and much more.
The British Carriage Association and the British Carriage Dog Society will also be on hand, with the latter showcasing their Dashing Dalmatian obedience team.
For dogs who love water, the Dash ‘N’ Splash in the K9 Aqua Zone boasts a massive 40ft pool where dogs sprint rapidly along a 30ft ramp and dive as far as their legs can launch them into the water!
You can see how it works on the video below: anyone wanting to enter their dog is advised to book in advance to avoid disappointment. For details visit http://www.dashnsplash.co.uk/
Water hound or not, there’s something for everyone at the Paws and Horses show, from taking part in a cross country race with your dog in the Cani Cross to entering your dog into the K9 Athletics championships.
Tickets range from £6.50 online to a family ticket of £25 on the gate. Concessions available. To book tickets and for further info visit www.onlypawsandhorses.co.uk.
