Results from Ballinalee 2009
Ballinalee Show passed off with great success in brilliant sunshine on Sunday last. The five, well-filled performance classes gave the show a very strong ‘working’ flavour. The emphasis on the first three in-hand classes on geldings is also very comendable in this context
Special mention must be made of the outstanding working hunter course, which was on par with the best. Congrats to all concerned. We have included a small gallery of photos at the end of the results below.
Village Fionn was the Supreme Champion of the show and the winning Connemara Performance Hunter was the very talented Treanlawn Glen Charlie ridden by Rosemary Wentges and owned by Elisabeth Wentges.
