Ewe could be onto a winner when sheep racing returns to Cannon Hall Farm to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Staff at the Cawthorne farm have organised nine days of Royal Ascot-themed racing over the Jubilee bank holiday with 20 'woolly jumpers' lining up for the baa-rmy event.
Farm director, Richard Nicholson, said they have pulled out all the stops to entertain visitors.
"I don't think there's another permanent course like ours anywhere else in the country," he said.
"Over the Jubilee holiday we'll be running lots of races so anyone who hasn't seen the sheep in action before has plenty of opportunities to do so."
Staff have trained 20 sheep to take part in the races which feature live commentaries and a 'bookies' kiosk where visitors can choose a sheep to cheer on and win prizes.
"The sheep are fairly easy to train once they realise there is a food reward at the end of the race," said Richard.
"It often surprises people that they're so willing to race and jump the fences so well. They aren't put off by crowds and are keen to race and get their food treat."
The racing will take place every day from tomorrow until June 10, with races every hour on the hour, from noon to 4pm.
Farm workers will also be demonstrating sheep shearing each afternoon at fifteen minute intervals. For more details contact 790427 or visit www.cannonhallfarm.co.uk
