THERE were record crowds at last week’s Balmoral Show and it was particularly busy on Saturday when most of the show jumping action in the Main Arena centred on younger riders.

Seven of those who competed in the final of the Millar McCall Wylie 128cms under 10s’ championship had qualified two ponies apiece and all 17 youngsters were wished good luck by the ground jury before the first of that seven rode into the arena.
