Although there have been ups and downs over the years, the ambition of the founders has been fully justified. It has grown, changed and evolved, with Cattle introduced in 1925 and Sheep in 1957. Other sections have also been added, so that it has become the modern Ashbourne Show, now presented by the Ashbourne Shire Horse Society.

However, what has not changed is the aim and ambition to produce a Show for the encouragement of excellence in agriculture and animal husbandry and for the information education and entertainment of the local community and the visitors to the area each August.
