Little Tinkerbelle who was driven by Ross in the All Sorts class at the RDA Lurgan group today and was a great hit with the young disabled children who ride with the group every Tuesday. Two little boys who are very frightened at getting on a pony to ride loved being in the carriage and kept asking for more rides! Just shows how versatile Shetland ponies can be. Best wishes to all for a Happy Christmas, Regards Berry McCrae
The Northern Ireland Carriage Driving Association held its annual Awards Dinner on Saturday 16th November in The Cohannon Inn, Dungannon. A great night was had by all in attendance, with plenty of craic and an opportunity to catch up with our friends and supporters once again. Following the recent AGM, the new committee members would like to thank the outgoing committee for all their dedication and hard work over the past year, as well as their organisation of a wonderful dinner dance. Awards were given for those who topped the league tables after a very challenging season, as well as a number of specific awards recognising prowess and dedication in dressage, including the Bill and Mary Bryson Friendship Quaich, awarded for the lowest average dressage score. This year, the Quaich went to Sinead McIntyre, who was also presented with the Bolan Cup from Horse Sport Ireland Carriage Driving, in recognition of her success at Irish National Championships in September. The NICDA Encouragement Shield was presented to young driver, Ross Ewing. The NICDA Sports Personality of the Year was voted for by club members on the night of the Dinner Dance, and this year went to Sharon Duckett, in recognition of her unwavering support and dedication to both the club and the sport in general. Congratulations to all our prize winners, and we look forward to another season of competition in 2014. Report by Lauren Ferguson (Club PRO)
