Balmoral Show: School pupils from Ballymena enjoy international horse event

The teenagers watched the prestigious event in sunny weather from the stand overlooking the main arena in Balmoral Park.

Ruth Loney, the equestrian commentator, said of the event on Friday morning: "Having the television channel ClipMyHorse.TV from Germany, having their cameramen here and their commentators, doing live coverage of the show for a huge global audience, is massive. It has put Balmoral and Northern Ireland on the equestrian map. I was in Morocco and Qatar recently and met the ClipMyHorse.TV team and I told them about Balmoral, and so I am delighted they came and sponsored an international class this morning."
