THE Wicklow branch of the Irish Draught Horse Breeders Association held its annual show in glorious sunshine in Boswell Equestrian Centre, Ashford, Co Wicklow last weekend.

This marked the first year that the show included Traditional Irish Horse classes, with the aim of increasing entries on the day. The ridden classes were very well supported but unfortunately it is a sign of the times that fewer youngstock are being brought to the shows.
