KILKEEL and District Riding Club were delighted with the turnout at their recent Hallowe’en Fun Day show held at Mourne Equestrian Centre. The day kicked off with a well supported fancy dress competition, which made judging very difficult, but there were cheers all around when everyone was declared a winner.
Show jumping was next, with heights to suit everyone from cross-poles to 1.10m. The day ended with two teams battling it out in the pony games, with ‘The Winners’ team of Molly McGinn and Katie Niblock taking top spot.
The club’s next events will be their Christmas Show on Saturday, December 18 at The Gamekeepers Lodge Equestrian Centre, Kilkeel from 3pm, and the New Year League starts on Friday, January 7, 2022 at the Gamekeepers Lodge Equestrian Centre. For further information, contact the club on 07927 254881.
