An event that aims to encourage the preservation of a heavy horse breed returns after 10 years.
Suffolk Punch classes are a regular feature at county agricultural shows, such as the annual Suffolk Show at Trinity Park near Ipswich
Steve Swan, livestock manager at Easton Farm Park, near Woodbridge, said the horses were "impressive" animals, but are also "gentle" and "nice to people". Farm manager Fiona Siddell said people would be able to see the horse, participate in ring events and a fancy dress parade. "When you're a Suffolk person, and even if you're a visitor to the county, it makes your heart beat a little bit faster, whether it's at the Suffolk Show or Easton Farm Park, or wherever you may be," she said.
"This is a really important part of our heritage; we love these horses and we want people to carry on breeding them, carry on loving them."
