ARD Lú, which was affiliated to the Association of Irish Riding Clubs just 12 months ago, hosted last Sunday’s fourth leg of the North East Region/Equipet winter show jumping league at Ravensdale Lodge.

The club, which is based at Bennett’s Equestrian outside Newry, picked a helpful duo in Louise McEnteggart and AIRC honorary vice president Gerry Thompson as course builder and judge for their first regional show and these were supported by members of Ard Lú who acted as stewards and formed the arena party.
