I was climbing up a hill at Howth when I heard wheels behind me and a pony-carriage drew up be - side me. A pretty girl was driving alone and without a hat.

The saturday and sunday have a great programme including carriage driving horse show falconry dog agility demonstrations pet show craft fair clydesdale horse show and even a stick making competition!

Their packing was done at great speed, and soon they were in the carriage, driving south.
