IDS Winners at 2020 Virtual Online Shows
The Irish Donkey Society’s members played a huge role in a number of Virtual Shows that happened in 2020, being winners and runners up in many categories.
RDS Virtual Show
The Donkey Exhibition on the Sunday took place virtually on Facebook, we were overwhelmed with the 47 entries, from all over Ireland. From both members and non-members. The RDS finalists on the Sunday were, Clare Heneghan x2 made the shortlist. Marnie Squires, Caroline Giles-Lee x4 made shortlist and Suzi Truesdale x2. The overall winner was Suzi Truesdale, with Ratallagh Daisy, an 8 year old mare. Suzi is a keen member of the IDS from Cloughey in County Down and we all have happy memories of her other donkey Mr Pablo driving around the main arena at last year’s display.
