Yesterday we farewelled Les Pratt (Pratty), he was a well know resident to Alexandra & had been a member of the Alexandra Show. He was Chief Steward in the Horse Section and would be out in the centre of the horse arena ensuring things ran smoothly.
Pratty often would drop into the Showgrounds to see everything was ok & keep up the show news, there would be that sly chuckle or ‘yeah right is that so’. He came to the show last year (2025) on his scooter, sat & chatted with show goers, glad he had one last visit.
Rest in Peace Les 🐎
