It is a great achievement for a small western town to be hosting International
competitions on both days of our show.
On Saturday there are classes for all types of performance ponies as well as international
championships with up to twenty ponies from the UK and Northern Ireland competing.
Sunday will feature Classes for Horses, Ponies, Performance, Cattle, Sheep, Donkeys and
our wonderful Dog & Pets Show, plus many more. The highlight for Sunday will be the Power¹s
Quarry International Performance Championship with prize money of €3000, the Cashel house 3yr old
Horse championship with prize money of €3,500 and the FBD All-Ireland Irish Draught Foal Final.
A visit to the Community Centre is a must to view the wonderful Domestic Art & Crafts
competition.
Sunday will also see ladies in their finest attire for the Best Dressed Lady competition.
All of the above would not be possible but for the generosity of all our wonderful sponsors.
The show would not be a success without top quality competitors and we welcome you all here this
weekend especially those of you who have travelled long journeys and also from the UK.
I look forward to meeting you all over the weekend and hope
everyone has a safe and memorable show.
Best Wishes
