The Laois Rose entrants enjoyed a thrilling day out this weekend, going from a wild west ranch to a glamorous cocktail night in lively Portlaoise.
Along with some Offaly Roses, they took to the saddle for a fun afternoon out at Fossey Mountain Ranch high in the Timahoe hills, a genuine American style horse ranch. We sent photographer Alf Harvey along to capture the fun. More below photos.
