COMBINATIONS had to qualify for two of the horse performance championships at last week’s Balmoral Show but not for Friday’s long-established working hunter championship which remains as highly-competitive as ever.

The courses were built by a very busy Adrienne Stuart and the classes were judged by Andrew Bowie and Amy Kinane whose champion came from the four-year-old class while the reserve had topped their line-up the five and six-year-old section.
