Record entries for a sunny Randalstown Arches Gymkhana

ON Saturday, June 11, Mid Antrim branch of the Pony Club and Randalstown Arches Association were delighted to be able to revive their annual Gymkhana, after a few years without running due to Covid.

Unusually for Northern Ireland, the weather was on side, encouraging a record number of entries across the range of competitions; from show jumping to showing and working hunter to dog classes, there was plenty to keep everyone amused, with sun cream applied liberally throughout the day!

Mid Antrim branch of the Pony Club and Randalstown Arches Association would like to extend their sincere thanks to everyone who volunteered to help with the set up and running of the show, as well as the wonderful supporters, who came out with their four-legged friends to enjoy the fun and the atmosphere of this lovely local gymkhana!
