Horse Week: Glorious sunshine for NI Riding Clubs Showjumping Championships

NORTHERN Ireland Riding Clubs held their Showjumping Championships on Sunday 12 May.

Members from all over Northern Ireland travelled to Knockagh View Equestrian Centre.

It was glorious sunshine all day and everyone had a great day.

NI Liaison Committee would like to thank Ruth and Scott Logan for the use of their excellent facilities, David and Sylvia Nicholl for building a lovely course, Heather and Lara Camlin for judging, Ellie Johnston for the photographs, Scott in the Café who kept everyone fed and watered all day and to everyone else who helped out during the day. Without your help they could not run these events.

A big well done to everyone who competed.
