WITH the showing and working hunter season fast-approaching, well-known coach Toni Donnelly held a lecture and demo evening at Danescroft Equestrian Centre, Lisburn on Tuesday, February 11th. Coinciding with half-term, younger competitors and parents were able to join the group wishing to brush up on their knowledge and their ringcraft.

In her lecture, Toni shared lots of useful information, such as details of showing and working hunter classes and being sure to enter the correct class! She also brought a selection of tack, including bits, bridles and saddle pads, to highlight what is acceptable in the show ring.
