THE excitement at Kernan Equestrian with the Young Riders and Juniors taking home team gold from the European Championships, brilliantly coached by James Kernan, provided the backdrop for the Friday Night Final at the Co Armagh equestrian centre.

The seven-week league, kindly sponsored by Leon and Helen Murtagh of Premier Saddlery, Armagh, came to a conclusion and it was all the more special with the Europeans triumphs spurring all the youngsters on at Kernan’s to achieve their very best.
