Hello everyone,
I do hope you were able to get out and about with your horse or pony at the weekend. The weather still isn’t the best, but horsey people are made of strong stuff!

There was a lot on over the weekend in terms of competitions and training events, so this Horse&Field newsletter brings you a first instalment of reports, results and pictures from last weekend, as well as some local news.
The headline event of the weekend was the annual Two-Phase at Tyrella, which always attracts huge interest, both from seasoned eventers keen to get back out, as well as from those wishing to try something new!
The latest Training Show at Connell Hill saw another great turnout of riders at all levels - click below to see the full results and more pictures.
Ecclesville held the second week of their current show jumping league, with nearly 100 entries on the night!
To cater for those who prefer to keep all four feet on the ground, Hagans Croft ran a leg of their popular dressage league.
Results and pictures from Portmore’s three-day horse show are now posted.
Looking ahead, Kernan Equestrian Centre, Crossmaglen is holding a St Patrick’s Day Show on Monday - read class and entry details by clicking the link.
In local rural news and with Balmoral Show fast approaching, John Henning has been elected at the 37th President of the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society.
