HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall visited the CS to meet with the owners and for The Duchess to name a new shire horse foal that had been born on the farm just six weeks earlier.

Mark Cole, the farm manager, said: “We were thrilled to invite the Duchess of Cornwall to name the first foal born on the farm in five years – from a shortlist of three, she chose the name Merlin.”

HRH The Duchess also met Club Director General, Robert Louden MBE, who was a special guest at the event.
