Horses and ponies enjoy their day in the sun

There was more than horses and ponies featured at the Enniskillen Horse and Pony Show at Necarne Castle on Saturday.

The dog show was well supported and there were also children"s activities such as a bouncy castle.

The Chairman of the Show, Desmond Rolston, was extremely happy with the outcome.

He said, 'I think that this has been the best show yet. Every year we have been building support, and the turnout this year has increased yet again. In particular the Show-Jumping classes were very well supported, and there was a great turnout for the Connemara and Ridden Hunter Showing Classes. Numbers in the Working Hunter Class were also boosted this year. The show was wound up by the highlight of the Fermanagh District Council Mini Grand Prix.'
