Riders aged five to 65 inundated the Sale and District Agricultural Showgrounds arena for the 157th annual Sale Show.

Held from Friday, October 28 to Sunday, October 30, hundreds of competitors entered into various equestrian events, from showjumping and dressage to handling and everything in between.

The arena showcased towering creatures, miniature creatures, manes neatly braided and coats shiner than a polished silver spoon.

There were falls and tumbles, there was tears and bruises, but mostly there were smiles and laughter as entrants shared their enthusiasm for all things horses.
