THE pressure on Britt and Anne Megahey eased slightly last week when, after some very inclement weather, they decided to make an early call and cancel the one-day event scheduled for their Glenpatrick home today.

However, there was still the matter of son Chris competing in his first junior show jumping Nations’ Cup last weekend in Deauville while next Friday week the usual clash will see Britt attend the Barclay Communications gentleman’s race evening at Down Royal before rushing down to Tattersalls for the international horse trials.
