GOOD TURNOUT OF YOUNGER ENTRIES An overcast day with a slight chill in the air met all those taking part in the 149th Courtenay A&P Show last Saturday. Despite the coolness of the day, Show president Tania Gallagher says the event had good gate takings. “We had a great show, and it was really good to see so many young people entering. We had some good class numbers with our pet lambs and our first ridden horses. These are our future competitors coming through,” says Tania. “And obviously with my theme being Inspiring Future Farmers, I was really pleased to see that.”
This year the Show introduced the Pleasure Ponies class, which meant riders who are not quite ready for show standard competitions could take part too. “This was a first and different section aimed at more of your pony club kind of pony and rider and was less competitive.” Having the Darfield Young Farmers on site this year showcasing their working dogs was also a bonus and followed Tania’s theme. This year the Show had the highest number of gift lamb entries with 78 gift lambs.
