THERE was a good turnout, particularly in the pony sections, at Saturday's gymkhana organised by the Mid Ulster Showjumpers, held, on the lands of Mr Hugh Nicholl, Hillhead Road, Castledawson.
Despite all the rain that had fallen earlier in the week, ground conditions were good.
The judges were Hugh Nicholl, Sam McMaster and Isobel Mawhinney.
The next regular gymkhana takes place on Saturday 14th August, while the annual Perpetual Trophy Show will take place on Saturday 11th September.
