On a personal note, I would like to thank those members and guests of the NI Connemaras for inviting me up to the lovely Meadows Equestrian Center by the banks of Lough Neagh to talk about Tom’s book ‘The Moycullen Ponymen’. I was made most welcome, and was interested to sit through their subsequent meeting with CPBS Councilman John Varley, who gave an account of the recent AGM. I certainly enjoyed myself, and hope to see many of the same faces at the Balmoral Show later this year (Conn. classes on the 12th).
