Wow! 

Thanks everyone for all the support so far. We are at 1,200 signatures and counting in less then a day. Please keep them coming! There is clearly a massive desire to keep this facility alive and no small amount of anger at equestrian sport being snubbed in this way.

So where to from here? Tomorrow I plan to take your comments and do my very best to condense all the key points expressed in them into a letter which I will send to the Minister Thomas Byrne (Minister for Sport), government and opposition politicians and a selection of journalists. 

We've made our point now let's have it heard!
