New Format for Working Hunter at Omagh Show
Following the successful reintroduction of Working Hunter to Omagh Show, organisers Arvalee Riding Club are making slight adjustments to the schedule as they enter their 3rd year of organising the arena at the popular agricultural and equestrian event running 4th and 5th July at the Tyrone Farming Society grounds, on the edge of Omagh town.
Deciding to move into alignment with IPS rules competitors will have the advantage of understanding a proven system that is used in many shows throughout Ireland. In addition to this Cash prizes will also be up for grabs in many of the classes as well as the perpetual trophies for the Champion Horse and Pony classes.
