Kilkeel and District Riding Club host popular Silver Show 2021

It was a great delight for all members, committee members, helpers and competitors of Kilkeel and District Riding Club to have their show back up and running again albeit different in that the club split the show over two weekends.

The club ran showjumping first on Saturday 24th July, then followed up with showing and working hunter on Saturday 31st July 2021.

The committee of Kilkeel and District Riding Club would like to thank Mr Tom Bingham for the use of his land over the duration of the two show dates.

As a token of our thanks, we are donating proceeds from both shows to Heartbeat NI and Kilkeel Lifeboat.
