SUNDAY, October 27th, saw Barrow Valley Riding Club host the penultimate leg of the AIRC Show Jumping League, which kicked off in September and has since moved around the South East region, being hosted by a different club each week.

The extra hour in bed paid off for the Barrow Valley Riding Club team, as alarms went off to get everyone on site to commence the show at Carrigbeg Riding Stables, by kind permission of Susan Patterson. While the first rider of the 52 entries of the day took to the warm up, the prizes kindly sponsored by Bagenalstown Country Store and Kate’s Tack Shop were put on display, the photographer John O’Carroll got in position and judge Rory O’Sullivan gave a final check over the Susan Patterson-designed course.
