Kilmacanogue Horse Show |
 |
The idea of a Kilmacanogue Gymkhana was
first thought of by Mervyn Kavanagh of
the Old Long Hill, he discussed the idea
with Sally Mac Weeney and asked Charlie
Keegan if he would be Chairman of the
committee. Sally mentioned it to her
parents and the idea soon became the
first Annual Kilmacanogue Horse Show and
Pony Gymkhana which was held on Saturday
26th August 1972 in Bushy Park by kind
permission of R.B. Bisgood. The show was
organised in such a way as to encourage
experienced riders to participate but
also to give opportunities for young or
inexperienced riders to attend. The
ethos of the show was to support a
charity and to encourage sponsorship. It
was decided that all the proceeds from
the show would be given to Duffcarraig
House. There was only one month to
organise the show and Sally remembers
that they where able to find helpers
without much of a problem as they didn’t
have time to think about what they where
promising ! The show was a great success
with entries of 100 ponies, 80 horses
and 20 donkeys. There where also130 dogs
entered in the dog show. |
