FOR PJ Sheerin to miss the Thursday at the Dublin Horse Show is highly unusual, however this year PJ had another Dublin appointment as the Moate man underwent triple bypass cardiac surgery in St James’s Hospital on ‘Draught Day’.

His many friends in the Irish Draught world will be happy to hear that PJ was recently amongst the Moate Show spectators and was back ringside again at the Irish Draught Horse Society show in Ballinasloe last Saturday to cheer on granddaughter Katie Doyle when she won the young handlers class.
