In particular the Dancing Diggers (who were appearing in Ireland for the first time in 30 years) and the Stihl Timbersports demonstration proved a real hit with the crowds, and of course allbed were in attendance at the event with the allbed exhibition trailer to allow people to see for themselves why allbed has proven such a hit with horse owners since its launch
The World Ploughing event which took place over the last two days of the championships and for the first time in a decade, took place on a Saturday was a huge success with 17 year old Scot Andrew Mitchell taking first place in the conventional and Simon Witty from England taking the reversible for a second time having won the title in 2005.
Next year, the National Ploughing Championships will take place on Annaharvey Farm in Tullamore, Co Offaly from the 25th to 27th September, and allbed will be at the show once again, so be sure to put that date in your diary!
