A beautiful morning welcomed those who made the trip to the Meadows Equestrian complex.

The unregistered had a busy day with almost 100 entries passing through the arena, whereas up in arena 3, riders from all areas attended to the Working Hunter competition on a quest to pick up those all important qualifications for the Northern Ireland Festival held in Cavan Equestrian Centre in the coming months.
