With Becky away in the UK preparing for the Sedgemoor Calf Show and UK Dairy Day, we headed to Limerick Show, which was our final outdoor show for the season. The show is held in Limerick Racecourse, which was formerly Greenmount Stud; and interestingly enough, my husband Pete used to work in Greenmount Stud during his school holidays and weekends as a young fella. 

The stud farm stood top-class flat bred stallions back in the day and also boarded broodmares for owners across the world, Pete even recalls mucking out and leading a mare owned by ABBA.
