Irelandscapes | Beach Horse Relay at Donaghadee with the Waterworths ( N Irish equestrian event film) @Irelandscapes | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This month's superb beach event at historic Donaghadee Town on the Ards Peninsula coast. A real spectator event, keenly attended by thousands of local folk and visitors. Many towns and villages in Ulster hosted annual events like this one up to a century ago, so it's good to see an active promotion of traditional horse racing events where people can come together for an afternoon's entertainment and see these skilled riders and beautiful animals in action. The atmosphere is always upbeat and nostalgic.
We chat with the sponsors, the Waterworth family, owners of several restaurants in the town and keen community volunteers involved in many local events.
