Great turnout at picturesque Tyrella

30 August 2017

THE beautiful Tyrella Estate was the setting for the recent Saintfield Horse Show.

Huge crowds attended the event to watch the horse and ponies compete and quite a few of the spectators took advantage of the location to walk down to the beach and paddle in the sea.

There was live music throughout the day with Gerard Dornan, Country Harmony and Box Car Brian playing in the marquee.

Michael Drake had a tough job judging the glamorous lady competition, although he stuck to the task with admirable perseverance.

Show director, Joan Cunningham, said she was absolutely delighted everything went so well and was so pleased with the excellent feed back. 

“I would like to thank the competitors, sponsors, judges, heads of sections, stewards, St Johns Ambulance, David Corbett and every person who helped in any way to make the day such a great success,” she said.
