Sun shines for Armoy Horse show

The sun shone and the many who attended had an enjoyable day and were awarded by a high standard of showing and jumping.  The Clydesdale judge was Carolynne Crawford. Due to the last minute indisposition of the showing judge Robin Marrs and John Kilgore stepped into the breech and did a sterling job.

Armoy Community Association would like to sincerely thank the judges, the first aiders, the volunteer helpers and a special word of thanks goes to the competitors who supported us and helped to make this event such a success. Photographs were kindly taken by Artemis Photographic and Peter Molloy.
