ANDREW and Laura Napier hosted their third Eventing Ireland Northern Region one-day event last Saturday at Hazeldene where, as usual, they were assisted by members of the extended Napier and Turley families.

The beautiful weather drew spectators to the main water complex, a human watering and feeding station, where cheers for competitors broke the usual hush-hush atmosphere at most national events. As ever, Andrew’s wood carving skills were evident throughout the venue, invasive species such as crocodiles and bears being spotted alongside pheasants and native creatures.
