Record Attendance at ILPH
Summer Show |
May be it was the sunshine, the cancellation
of the Norfolk Show, the scarcity of horse shows this summer or just the free
entry to the showground. Whatever the reason the ILPH Summer Show on Saturday
23 June, broke all records !
With over 6,000 through the gates, 376 horses
and ponies competing in 62 classes, 10 championships and a Supreme
Championship, and with a profit of over £10,000, the day was deemed a
resounding success.

presenting Working Hunter Championship to Kirsty Bond on Whitehills Splash.
Says Roly Owers, Director of
Fundraising, "It was absolutely marvellous, an excellent day that exceeded
all our expectations.
"The main ring attractions, which
included the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Tanya Larrigan and her Mini
Marvels, enthralled the crowds and our horse show judges valiently kept going
until the Supreme Championship judging at 6.45 pm.
"I must say a big thanks to the
generosity of our sponsors and to all ILPH staff who pulled out all the stops
both before and on the day, who together made the Show the success that it
was."
