Last Sunday, I participated with my horse Navilluso Halanta at the annual White’s Cross Gymkhana, run by Michael Hennessey. This was a charity event in aid of Cork cancer charities. With my councillor hat on, I sponsored one of the key pony classes. This was a great day. I had no luck though in my own classes, the Irish Horse Board National Amateur final which I was qualified for as well as the Cork-Kerry Branch Greyhound Night Amateur competition. Despite, that I wish to congratulate Michael and his team on his hard work in making this show such a great success every year. I would also like to praise my good friend and mentor Sean Kelly in sponsoring the E.1,000 for the 1.10m. It made for a great competition. Well done to all!
