DRYNAM Riding Club staged its summer show at the National Horse Sport Arena when 11 Primary combinations came before judge Yvonne Monahan at 8am who awarded two of them scores above 70%. Thornton’s Bethany King took the honours on Bubbly Bear (77.63%) ahead of Meath’s Cliona Dempsey on her 14-year-old ex-racehorse, Alldrage (73.16).

King had a good day with her 11-year-old Jack Of Diamonds (SWE) gelding as they were also placed in the 60cms and 70cms show jumping competitions. The bay was bred in Co Wicklow by Francesca de Burgh whose daughter, Antonia, successfully evented his dam, Sportsfield Foley Bear (by Andretti).
