Flashback to Easter Fun at Laurel View

Egg-stacle Course and the Hop Over It Show Jumping prove popular at Templepatrick venue

Time since the Easter Show at Laurel View has just hopped, skipped and jumped away and already we are in May and the worthy winners have not made it to ‘print’ until now.

It was a great day of fun and Easter treats at the Templepatrick venue, as competitors tackled the Egg-stacle Course and the Hop Over It Show Jumping. It is lovely to see lots of the Laurel View horses and ponies featuring in the winners’ list, partnered with the centre’s riding school clients.
