Garvagh Clydesdale and Vintage Vehicle Club

In spite of other conflicting events over the province the event was well supported by Clydesdale exhibits, vintage vehicle enthusiasts, traders and spectators alike.

The show of Clydesdale Horses was equally impressive, the judge for the day was William Hall, Finvoy, Ballymoney.

The Chairman welcomed the Judge for the young handler’s competition Craig Hanna of Macfin Clydesdales. After judging the classes and awarding 1st prize to Finn Todd of Downhill Clydesdales Craig gave spectators a running commentary on his assessment of Finn’s performance.

In the driving class Darren Ryan gave an excellent display of driving in a Gelding cart with his outstanding Clydesdale Hillview Braveheart.
