THE mounted stewards on duty at the North Down Hunt point-to-point at Kirkistown on Saturday didn’t have much work to do with just two fallers during the day, both coming at the second last fence in the final race.

However, their mounts received a lot of attention from racegoers and deservedly so being well turned-out, smart types. Honorary whip Charlie McPoland rode the hunt horse Danny, who is in his fifth season with the pack, while he also bred the eye-catching grey partnered by Barry Jones.
