LAST weekend’s Classic, run by the South East Region of Dressage Ireland, attracted a record entry to Spruce Lodge where three overseas judges were among those who officiated over the two days.

Those overseas visitors were FEI judge Yolanda Rama and British Dressage List 1 judges Kirsty Mepham and Tim Downes. The last-named was in Ireland the previous weekend also as he was a member of the ground jury of the CCI2*-S classes at the Camphire International Horse Trials.
