BREEDERS from the North served notice at the two-day Cork Summer Show that their dominance of the major horse shows south of the border is set to continue.

WEST Cork breeder Seamus Lehane, Ballymacowen, Clonakilty, won another young horse championship at Midleton Show, held in the mart grounds in Knockgriffin last Sunday.

BREEDING came to the fore in the Irish Horse Board-sponsored Limerick Lady championship at the Limerick Show.

A RECORD attendance of more than 20,000 flocked to Charleville’s two-day agricultural show last weekend to view some of the finest sport horses and livestock, and a huge range of attractions ranging from modified cars to pets.

WINNING the champion ridden hunter award at a show for the second successive weekend is no mean achievement.
