EVNPA May Show

Supreme Champion - Caitlyn Graham and Maam Valley Champ

Royal Manx Agricultural Show

Just a fortnight later it was on to Knockaloe for the Royal Manx Agricultural Show on 7th and 8th August, with two more packed days of competition and the Light Horse Championships forming part of Saturday’s programme.

There was a particularly impressive result for Abby Kirkpatrick and The Real McCoy, who took the Light Horse Championship for the 9th year, before going forward to represent the Light Horse sections in the Show’s overall Supreme Championship..

And they didn't stop there.

Against the champions from across the agricultural sections, the pair were awarded Third Reserve Supreme Champion of the entire Royal Manx Agricultural Show – a fantastic result for Abby and a brilliant showing for the equestrian side of the Show.
