Finally the disasterous weather being suffered in Ireland broke for the weekend jumping at Boswell Equestrian in Ashford and it brought the people out in big numbers!

Not only did it not rain, but the sun was out and the sky was blue - all made for fabulous jumping!

Boswell Equestrian is set in an idyllic location, easily accessible via the N11, and on arrival the clean and bright gardens give you the clue as to how the place is run by owner Gerry Gorman and his team of Boswell folk!

The BBQ nook has proved to be very popular with chef service, great food and smiling faces everywhere! Definitely a favourite venue for this crew.........and with whisper of an indoor being built in the near future the place becomes as perfect as any European venue.
The next show held at Boswell will see the new improved main arena which is being increased in size making it one of (if not the) the biggest outdoors in the country other than places like Dublin Shows Main Arena!
There is always plenty of parking all around the many arenas now at Boswell and even the horses - pictured above right - get to have a parking spot with a view of the main arena!

Course Designer, Killian Clarke, has the perfect viewing position for himself and is ring crew - pictured above - where they can escape the wind, rain and sunshine! While spectators can enjoy the sun from the upper level sun deck overlooking the main arena.

Killian is now ably assisted at Boswell Equestrian by Gerry Trainor - pictured right.
The pocket gate gives a great view of the main arena for those waiting their turn - pictured left - Paul O'Shea on one of his new team of horses, which feature a large number of similar looking greys making our job that little bit harder, until we get to know the horses better!
The bagpipers were there to herald in the main class - the Premier Grand Prix and always the crowd love this traditional way of beginning a big class - pictured right.
