On Sunday 24th May, Ballywalter Young Farmers’ Club successfully hosted their second annual charity horse hack, which once again proved to be a well-supported and enjoyable community event.

Following the success of last year’s first hack, which raised funds for the Air Ambulance and supported junior member Ruby, this year’s event held added significance as participants were delighted to see Ruby taking part alongside her own pony, Danny.

The club would like to sincerely thank everyone who attended and took part in the afternoon ride, with the event raising vital funds in support of this year’s chosen charity, Rural Support.

Rural Support is a charity providing confidential emotional, practical, financial, and farm business support to farmers, farming families, and rural communities across Northern Ireland.

Special thanks also go to Spar Carrowdore for generously supplying refreshments for the horses and ponies, as well as to the stewards who volunteered their time to ensure the safety of all participants along the route.

Particular thanks are also extended to photographer Dara McCracken, who captured the event beautifully throughout the afternoon.
