THE sun shone at the fantastic Castle Irvine for the annual Enniskillen Horse and Pony Show, with over 600 competitors taking part in dressage, unregistered jumping, showing and working hunter competitions.

The standard of horses and ponies was exceptional and a first place rosette was not easily claimed.

Competitors from all over Ireland took part with a huge amount staying for the weekend.

Local rider Kerry Taggart and Cooloo Colin took the big money – £1,500 – in the working hunter ring, with the Supreme Horse in the ridden rings going to Joanne Quirke and Battles Gent.
