Caroline Scott, in pink, who rides with the Sinnington Hunt, leads the field during the camel races which were held at Duncombe Park Country Fair.

Caroline’s hunting experience stood her in good stead as she claimed victory in four races at the country fair.

Crowds of visitors flocked to the event, near Helmsley, and tried their hand at archery, browsed a craft fair and farmers’ market and watched equestrian competitions at the stately home’s popular annual event.

The competition ring held events for horses, including a mini Grand National and gymkhana. Other animals featured included foxhounds and ferrets.

There were also plenty of trade stands, craft fairs, clay pigeon shooting, a display of vintage cars, tractors and motorcycles and funfair rides.
