THE final qualifier for the senior mounted games competition at the Dublin Horse Show takes place today at Carnew Show while younger players, and some older ones, will be looking forward to next week’s Irish Pony Club Festival at Barnadown where games will be played on all three days.

The action commences on Wednesday, when there will be Junior games also combined training for Under 10s, Under 12s and Novice riders plus the musical ride competition.

Combined training for Juniors upwards takes place on Thursday along with the pure dressage competitions, the Alice Mernagh (Under 12s) show jumping plus Senior Bs and pairs games.

On Friday, the Robbie Bailey and John Ledingham show jumping finals will be the main focus of attention backed up by senior show jumping and Under 10s games.

The organisers were keen to thank Connolly’s Red Mills, Kate’s Tack Shop, Bunclody and the large number of volunteers who have been working tirelessly.
