An amateur film, possibly by Betty Cook, of an equestrian gymkhana event and award ceremony taking place at Marske-by-the-Sea in July 1965.
The film begins on a sign laid out on the grass that reads ‘Car Park’ with an arrow next to it.
General view of a long line of cars parked in a field and a small group of people standing beside someone on horseback.
A panoramic view of the showground follows, recording a policeman and two other riders on horseback, a large marquee, parked cars and a crowd watching the riding events.
Around the show field, people watch as a man on horseback completes a circuit of the course jumping a number of fences. On a number of occasions the horse refuses to jump.
Trophies are laid out on a table.
Another rider completes the course. He has difficulty getting the horse to take a jump. A number of bricks in a walled-fence are knocked over by the horse.
The film ends with a number of riders being presented with trophies and trotting off the field.
