THE World Clydesdale Show 2022 is proud to announce the appointment of Martin Clunes as show President.   

As well as being a writer, presenter and actor, Mr Clunes is also an incredibly keen heavy horse enthusiast who took over as President of The British Horse Society on 1 June 2011.

Already known to millions from his stage and screen appearances, including Doc Martin, Manhunt and Men Behaving Badly, his 2010 ITV documentary series Horsepower revealed his passion for horses and latterly a second equine documentary, Heavy Horsepower, in 2013.  

Martin owns two Clydesdale horses, Ronnie and Bruce, and knows first-hand the joy that these gentle giants can bring to owners, exhibitors and spectators alike at shows like this one. 

Mr Clunes will be attending the 4 day long show at P&J Live in Aberdeen between the 20th and the 23rd of October this year.  With over 300 hundred Clydesdale horses from all over the world and over 21,000 spectators over 4 days this is the first World Clydesdale Show to be held in Europe, let alone the UK.

Martin Clunes commented: “I am really excited to be the President of this prestigious show.  Like a lot of people, I get a gut punch when I see Clydesdale horses so to be present at a world show with horses from all over the world is just too exciting.  I am also very happy to show my boys off and 1’m crossing my fingers that they behave themselves.” 

Ailsa Clark, Chief Executive and Director, said: “We are so very proud that Martin Clunes as agreed to be the World Clydesdale Show 2022 President. His love of horses and dedication to the Clydesdale Breed is tremendous and to be able to welcome the President of the British Horse Society as our president is a great honour.”
