THE Campbell family had a quiet start to their Bank Holiday weekend with the Eventing Ireland Northern Region one-day event on Saturday. However, their peace was shattered on Monday when huge numbers of Area 17 members descended on the Co Antrim venue for the home championships in eventing which were hosted by the North Derry Branch.

Having arrived home from the British Show Pony Society championships in Grantham early on Sunday morning, the Logan family drove out of Knockagh View Equestrian Centre 24 hours later with one of the same ponies on board, Garnagree Golden Bravado. For this trip to Finvoy however, Thistledown Angelo was left behind with the veteran Llafar Barthez travelling in his stead.
