IT had been a busy 10 days for Kilguilkey House organisers Danny and Michelle Dulohery, who having wrapped up their recent international showcase and a subsequent pony club camp, staged a successful one-day event fixture last weekend. Notably, and largely due to the massive efforts Dulohery puts into the ground preparation, the venue attracted another sizeable entry, spread well across the 16 classes.

Following a dry week, Dulohery had watered, aggrovated and then watered the cross-country tracks for a second time, to help ease the sting in the ground.
