Provisional glimpse of Beach Show menu
The Gaeltachts are well on their way to orchestrating another of their seaside masterpieces. See their website for the first glimpse of a skeleton schedule. It looks like it could give the Festival at Stradbally a run for its money at a fraction of the diesel cost.
Riding Clubs Festival, Stradbally
The mere thought of travelling any distance at all with a horse at present is enough to send a shudder through your bank account and wallet. However, everybody has their goal for the year or the one treat that they’re determined to allow themselves, come hell or high water.
