IN advance of leading the parade of champions in the Laya Arena at the Gallagher Dublin Horse Show tomorrow (Sunday), the Duhallow Foxhounds had a practice run last Sunday in the Main Arena at the Tattersalls Ireland July Show. Parading the hounds were huntsman David Beecher, of the renowned Beecher family, who has just completed his first season with the pack. He was assisted by whipper-in Jamie Kelleghan, who moved to Co Cork earlier in the summer from the Ballymacads.

Later on Sunday afternoon, but also in the Main Arena, there was a display from the Jack de Bromhead Equine Centre which, based at the Child Vision Campus in Drumcondra, is named in memory of Jack who tragically died in a pony racing accident at Glenbeigh Races in September 2022 at just 13 years of age. The Centre, made possible through the vision of owner Chris Jones and the strength of Jack’s parents Henry and Heather, provides therapeutic benefits to children. Tattersalls Ireland is one of the sponsors of the Centre.
