WESTERN exhibitors had one of their final pre-Dublin outings at Louisburgh Show last Sunday when Tiernan Gill, Seamus Sloyan and Lisa Gilmartin swept the boards at the west Mayo fixture.

Heritage is very much a part of the show, with past themes including the ‘American wake’, and this year’s topical theme was a 1916 reenactment. A staunch supporter of this show since it was re-established in 2007, Gill won with his three-year-old Shutterfly gelding, Walk In The Park. His stable companion went one better when Flogas Liqueur won the youngstock championship.
