GEOFF Cannon and David Kirkpatrick, chairman and secretary respectively of the Equine Council of Northern Ireland, spent what they hope was a very productive two hours going around the horse areas of the Balmoral Show on Thursday. The two men introduced Norman Fulton, the new Head of Policy at the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DEARA) and Martin McKendry, the new principal of Greenmount College, to various key people within the bloodstock and equestrian communities on their tour of the grounds.
