After finally sorting through all the photos, we have finally picked the best, hopefully everyone is in their somewhere!
We awarded best turned out to horses and riders for each class. The standard of turnout among the starter stakes was amazing . Ponies were all fully plaited , children turned out beautifully and it was a very difficult decision to pick the winner. It eventually went to the Tinney family from Castlefin and their pony Barbie.
Our little competitors really put the bigger classes to shame with the turn out of their ponies and could definitely teach some of the older competitors a thing or too! Watching the little ones and the care and attention they took with their mounts should give equestrianism in the North West a great future.
Moving up to the bigger classes , a large contingent from the Dungloe area supported the show , and the Green family were regularly in the Rosettes.Dara Mcloone with her very promising 148cm Connemara mare gave us a jump off against Courtney Green in the 90cm , she put in a great effort finishing second to Courtney's experienced mount. Georgia Dilworth from Fermanagh was impeccably turned out and took home a best turned out prize and rosette and also a second placed rosette from the jump off! With lots of Easter eggs , rosettes and prize money given out we hope everyone enjoyed the show as much as we did , thank you to everyone who supported us, we very much appreciate it!
