There was a fantastic turnout with over 140 entries and with three rings in action, showjumping, showing and working hunter, including qualifying classes for Northern Ireland Festival in Cavan next year, it was certainly a very busy day for the club. Extended thanks went to Tom Bingham, judges Rachel Conn (working hunter), Annabell Hendron (showing) scribes Kenzie Calvert and Anne Flynn, Ambutran Event Medical and Pauline Williams Photography. Thanks was also expressed to the following sponsors for their generosity – Travers Engineering, Gunner and Hound, Rag Solutions Ltd, Hugh McGinn Haulage, McB Fencing and Grounds, Leode Kennels, Baileys Horse Feeds and Hanna Contracts.
The club also would like to thank Gamekeepers Lodge Equestrian and Activity Centre, Kilkeel Development Association, Sloan Environmental, Mauds Ice Cream Kilkeel and to all of the volunteers, committee members and parents that helped in any way.
