Super rounds in tricky conditions at Ardnacashel Christmas Show
Comber venue now looks forward to their Arena Eventing and Show Jumping series
Despite a wet morning, all the competitors who made it to Ardnacashel’s Christmas Show on Saturday, December 30, jumped super rounds in tricky conditions! Organisers thank each and every one of them for coming along - the competitors and spectators certainly kept the spirits high.
It was a shame that not everybody could make it on the day, but Ardnacashel cannot wait to welcome you back in the New Year… Fingers crossed for better weather!
