CLAIRE Fitzsimons had the difficult job of judging Sunday’s well-filled Primary, Advanced Primary and Intermediate dressage to music class at this year’s AIRC Festival in Stradbally Hall but had three riders beating the 80% barrier.

The best of them, on 84.50%, was Broomfield’s Herma Boyle, who achieved that score on the 17-year-old grey mare Trudy Truly Fair, with Edel King of Tara Hill slotting into second on Don Quixote (82.50).
