Balmoral Show attracts high quality entry
Horse and pony showing, Working Hunter, Performance and Driving classes showcase equestrian talent
After the copious amounts of rain that have fallen this spring, it was quite incredible that the weather held so well for the four days of Balmoral Show. Competitors travelled from all over to take part in the wide variety of classes, with most having a healthy entry - in fact some were over-subscribed.
