CORBEAGH House, the venue of many a Riding Club and Pony Club one-day event, staged a point-to-point for the first time last Sunday as the McGreal family invited two local harrier packs, the Westmeaths and Longfords, to hold a joint meeting at their dairy farm.

There were plenty of people from the sport horse industry involved with the fixture including show jumper Haley McCoppin who sponsored the turn-out award in each race. She missed most of the meeting but was present for the concluding older horses’ maiden for novice riders where the winner of the turn-out award, the Jim Dreaper-trained Mr Cosmopolitan, won the race by four lengths with Haley being among those who backed the Basanta gelding.
