It was another big day at Annaharvey equestrian center when nearly 30 of the finest mares in Ireland lined up for the All-Ireland Broodmare Championship in what was a wonderful breed type-fest. The deserving winner was Sean Dunne’s beautiful Banks Vanilla with her filly foal at foot.

The winner of the Stallion class – Pat Rabitte’s Monaghanstown Prince, by Glencarrig Prince – was judged the Supreme Champion of the show, while our own Ashbrook Órga (by Fredericksminde Hazy Match) won her two-year-old class, and the Dun class, before going on to become Junior Champion.

With well-filled classes, fine weather, and absolutely no delays, it was another great success for the Midlands Breeders Group. No doubt they were all in Ballybrit for the week to relax after their effort and to celebrate antoher successful show!
