HORSEMAN'S SUNDAY, HAVERING-ATTE-BOWER

EDM number 2368 in 2007-08, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 28/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animals and Cultural heritage.

That this House congratulates the Havering-atte-Bower Conservation Society for re-establishing the traditional English ceremony of Horseman's Sunday held at St John The Evangelist Church, Havering Village Green, Romford, on Sunday 12th October; notes with pride that this was the first such event since the early 1970s; commends the organisers for this momentous achievement in re-creating a special day for horses and their riders to attend an open air service of thanksgiving, to be presented with commemorative rosettes and receive a blessing; and believes that Horseman's Sunday is a joyous event, bringing the entire community together, fostering tradition and encouraging respect for the great British horse, a creature that has been an inspiration and help to man throughout the ages.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
