Sunshine and smiles for Gransha Under 12s

THE children brought the sunshine with them to Gransha Equestrian Centre, Bangor on Sunday (May 8) for the second of the 12 and Under Fun Days this spring, which incorporated the final Equine Awards NI Mini and Junior Stars Dressage and Show Jumping qualifier! The children’s smiles lit up the day and thanks to the judges, Alex Ryan, Jenny Bell, Dawn Kennedy, Kirsty Jackson and Courtney Stuart, the results were very pleasing and evenly spread throughout the competitors.
