Fantastic morning yesterday at Paddy Twomey’s yard in Golden, Co. Tipperary. We got the opportunity to go around the yard with Paddy, see his state of the art facilities, the horses exercising and we got up close to some potential classic contenders for the upcoming flat season 🐎 Many thanks to paddy and all his staff for being so accommodating of us. A great way to round off what has been a hugely successful year for the society and we would like to thank all our members for attending our many events and we will see you all in September! 🐎🐎
