No sooner said than done! Enjoy the report of the Beach Show on the Gaeltacht’s website. Well done Orla Moore on a second consecutive win in the Advanced Primary Dressage and congratulations to Damien, Tanya and Cormac for their dressage placings.

Sun sets on windy Derby 2012
This year the rain held off until the last class was completed; it came down in soft soaking sheets as the course was cleared at amazing speed and the showground reverted to its civilian life as a field. Wind was the feature of this year’s event. A stiff breeze with consistent strong gusts played havocContinue reading “Sun sets on windy Derby 2012”
