NESTLED on the shores of Lough Neagh, Portmore EC was certainly the place to be over the May bank holiday weekend as the TRI Equestrian Summer tour kicked off. Forming the last day of a successful three-day show, the wheels were set in motion for the 2016 tour.

The well-known course design team of Ray Buchanan and Rafael Suarez provided excellent courses once again. As the first leg of the 18-leg tour, the Suarez family were the perfect hosts to riders from all over the region and a few welcome visitors from further afield.
