Victoria Gardiner, 10, from Lurgan was pretty sure her pony Mr Appleby could win most events at the seventh annual Dromore Horse Fair which was held in the Co Down town in October 1989. The News Letter reported that thousands of horse enthusiasts from Great Britain and Eire, as well as every county in Ulster, had travelled to the fair. There were 17 showing classes, which were all well supported, but it was the well groomed heavy breeds which stole the limelight. Picture: Trevor Dickson/News Letter archives
