AFTER a very busy summer, things are quietening down on the competition front with the Eastern Region’s show at Marlton today being the only affiliated fixture of the weekend.

There aren’t any Dressage Ireland shows scheduled for next weekend while the South East Region will have the stage to themselves when running on Sunday, September 28th at Ballyrogan Stud.
