Families and their four-legged friends had a "wonderful" day out as the Borrowby Agricultural and Horticultural Society's Show and Gymkhana returned. 

The popular annual event returned for its 74th run on Saturday, taking place at the Hillside Rural Acitivities Park at Knayton, near Thirsk.

From terrier racing to the Yorkshire Pudding Throwing World Championships, a whole host of activities were put on across the day.

Tent exhibits also got underway including produce and vegetables and fruitTent exhibits also got underway including produce and vegetables and fruit 

Returning for another year was the scheduled classes, which included sheep, rabbits and cavies, and ridden and in-hand horses. 

The 5k race also returned, starting in the main ring and taking runners on a scenic trip along country lanes in the villages of Knayton and Borrowby.

Tent exhibits were as popular as ever too, with vegetables and fruits, flowers, eggs, produce, wine, and honey all on display. 

Fantastic pictures from the day show dog-lovers and their pups jumping over haybales, while other photos spotlight youngsters enjoying show jumping.  

Hay bale races took place throughout the morning until 1.30pm ahead of dog classes.

The event - which has showcased the area's agricultural, horticultural and equestrian life since 1947 - was once again praised as "wonderful", with many saying organisers did an "amazing job".
