Antrim Show: a good day's sport for all
WITH VIDEO CLIP! Spectacular setting and generous sponsorship make for a top class show
Hello and welcome to Horse&Field. Our aim is to support local, grass roots equestrian enthusiasts and competitors and keep you all informed of what’s happening in the horsey world, as well as covering all things agricultural. If you haven’t already subscribed you can do so below:
Antrim Show was held in the spectacular surroundings of Shane’s Castle Estate on Saturday, July 22. The rain on the run up to the show may have hindered entries slightly for some classes, but the weather on the day was much better than forecast and the ground conditions were good, both in the various rings and for car parking. Competitors who took part had a good day’s sport!
The video clip below, courtesy of Ellie Johnston, gives a good impression of the lovely atmosphere on the day - just click on the arrow:
