The event started with a spectacular performance by the French Hunting Trump in attendance which had been brought in especially from France by Hermes. This performance was followed by an exhibition match, Piper Band, Ball roll-in and the Final match.
The end of the final match was succeeded by Trick riding and presentation of prizes where Hermes awarded the players for the zeal with which they played.
