Knotts Bakery continues to sponsor Young Event Horse Championship

There will be four year old and five year old classes which aim to identify high calibre horses bred in Ireland with the potential to become top class eventers.

The Knotts Bakery Young Event Horse Championship has been received very well at Balmoral Show and provides a recognised platform for breeders and producers to display their quality young stock and compete for the coveted winning titles.

Knotts Bakery is a local family owned craft bakery and coffee shop established in 1979. They have three shops operating in Newtownards, Holywood and Lisburn Road, Belfast.

It is a class which continues gaining creditability in showcasing potential top class eventers. We are excited to continue our sponsorship and are looking forward to seeing quality entrants at the show in May.”
