I was there too
A few of the photos I took today at the Dawstown Point to Point. We’ve been very lucky in the last few years that the weather has been good when these races were held!

I attended the point to point horse racing this afternoon at Dawstown, Co. Cork, with others from Blarney Photography Club. We were lucky with the weather, even if it did become cold later on.
There was a good crowd there, and I recognised some faces from last year. If the shouting from the crowd is anything to go, they enjoyed the day too!

I had a great time today at the Dawstown Point-to-Point horse racing event! The races started at 2 pm and continued until 4.30 pm, and I went with some of my buddies from the Blarney Photography Club. We positioned ourselves near the second last jump, and it was a super fun day filled with lots of action and photography opportunities. I’m excited to share this selection of my favourite shots with you!
