🐎 APPRECIATION POST 🐎

From all of us at Pigeon Hill & Carrigtwohill Point-to-Point Committee, we would like to extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make today such a fantastic day of racing.
A huge thank you to all attendees, trainers, owners, jockeys, stalls holders, medical personnel, stewards, and volunteers who contributed to a safe, enjoyable, and memorable day.

We were truly blessed with the weather, adding to what was a superb afternoon of sport.

A very special word of thanks to the Jeffory family, proprietors of the land, for their continued generosity and kind permission to use their wonderful grounds — without which this event would not be possible.

We would also like to express our deep gratitude to all of our sponsors for their ongoing support. Your backing is vital to the success of our meeting and is hugely appreciated by everyone involved.

Finally, thank you to our committee members and helpers who work tirelessly behind the scenes — your commitment and hard work do not go unnoticed.

We hope everyone enjoyed the racing as much as we did and we look forward to welcoming you all again next year. 🐎👏
