The weather and ground proved a perfect addition to the beautiful backdrop of Benevenagh and the hills of Donegal which made a very picturesque scene for the crowds of spectators and competitors alike who attended this year’s Londonderry and Limavady Agricultural Show.

The show jumping events each had good entries but, with the Horse Sport Ireland young classes being held at the Meadows Equestrian Centre in nearby Lurgan, some competitors took their horses there to jump for the very valuable prizes on offer. While this no doubt took its toll on numbers, the show was well-supported with competitors travelling from as far away as Lusk, Co Dublin and Newry, Co Down.
