This year in particular, after so much rainfall, it is a great reflection on the ground at Balmoral Park and the maintenance that goes into it, that it held up so well to all the traffic that went over it during the course of the show - equine and otherwise!
There was some fantastic competition across the show jumping classes, national and international, and the winners should be rightly pleased with their achievements… Well done to all!
