THE 2020 AIRC North East Region/Equipet winter indoor show jumping league commenced last Sunday as usual at the Broadmeadow Equestrian Centre but this year the first leg was hosted by the Drynam club whose secretary, Laura Snow, reported that they had a very good day with 125 rounds jumped.

The best supported class was the Advanced Intermediate where 21 riders came before judge Christine Walsh. The winner was Cheval’s Emma Sweeney on her ex-racehorse Mr Cosmopolitan, the 13-year-old Basanta gelding with whom she has had great success at the AIRC Festival over the past three years.
