THE sun certainly didn’t grace the riding club grounds at Coolboy, Co Wicklow, for the Tinahely Riding Club leg of the Tredstep Dressage League. The inclement weather did nothing though to dampen the sheer determination of those competing in the event. The tearoom, which is located near the arena at the club grounds, was a hive of activity all morning, providing warmth and nourishment to spectators and competitors alike.

The Primary class was won by Sandra Doody with Test of Courage (Coole Lane) on a score of 71%. Martin Carroll was second with Ardlea Indian Lady (Coole Lane) on a score of 64%.
