LEADING event rider Sarah Ennis judged Saturday’s final of the Premier Performance AIRC grassroots jump training series at the Emerald Equestrian Centre in Co Kildare, where the courses were built by Shane Brooks while Michael O’Connor kept everything running to time.

“It was tough to judge, especially at the higher grades, but I thought it was a very good competition,” commented Ennis. “The concept is excellent and what’s not to like about jumping a round, getting feedback on your performance and then jumping the same course again!”
