THE first leg of the Plusvital Spring Series nationwide combined training league was run last Saturday by the Northern Region of Eventing Ireland, in conjunction with round two of the Baileys Horse Feeds flexi eventing series at The Meadows.

Picking up vital points as winners at the McCusker family’s Lurgan venue were Erin McClernon and her 14-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Seapatrick Beachball (CT110) and Kaiti McCann with the 17-year-old skewbald mare Boyher Cookies N Creme (CT90).

The best-placed combination at CT100 level was Amy Salmon with her seven-year-old traditionally-bred ISH gelding Clonaslee Captain Hawk Wing, while the same comment can be applied at CT80 level to Ellie Hynds and the 10-year-old thoroughbred gelding Justbecool.

League standings are being posted on the Plusvital Facebook page.
