COVID-19 is, of course, driving us all, north and south, around the bend at this stage but with current lockdowns extended for a number of weeks, hopefully the summer will see events being held.

The Northern Ireland Carriage Driving Association announced on social media this week that the ongoing uncertainty with the pandemic has lead them to postpone running any events until the beginning of June 2021.

Clarifying the matter now helps assist their members who wish to get their horses ready for that general timeframe.

Sales date

A POSSIBLE sales date for your phones and diaries – with the current lockdown extended to March 5th next, Mullingar Equestrian Centre is hoping to be able to hold a Horse and Pony Auction on March 27th next at their Co Westmeath venue. See next week’s paper for more details.
