HUGE crowds descended on Newbridge House last weekend for the Flavours of Fingal County show with many taking the short walk up from the nearby Donabate railway station which brings them right alongside the showing rings.

As flat classes don’t really grab outsiders’ attention, most people walked on by - up to the busy show jumping ring and other attractions - but showing fans stayed put, particularly to watch the RDS racehorse to riding horse and side saddle qualifiers.
