ALL pure show jumping competitions at last weekend’s Barrier Spring Festival at Castle Irvine, Necarne, were staged on Saturday, when the Mid Antrim Branch ran out comfortable winners of the team competition.

The action took place in the Walled Garden, where the Festival’s chief show jumping steward, Alan Lynch, was assisted in designing and building the courses by Lithgow Currie. The latter’s wife, Janet, was in Belgium at the weekend, judging at the CSI2* jumping show in Lier, but we’re sure Lithgow had the more exciting time!
