THE third and final qualifier of the Half Bred Horse Breeders Society’s Three-Year-Old Loose Jumping Championships took place at Connell Hill Equestrian Centre last Wednesday. The standard and quality of the talented three-year-olds competing did not disappoint the spectators and buyers present.

Judge Nicola Tang was ably assisted by son Paul and tribute was also paid to John Gibson of Sporting Images NI and to Drumhowen Stud for the donation of the winners’ rugs.
