MANY of the news stories over the past few weeks have been based around equestrians seeking that all important golden ticket for the RDS in August and the AIRC is no different. Last Sunday, clubs from the south east region put their best teams forward in the hope of sending their club to compete at the Horseware Team Show Jumping Championship to be held in the Simmonscourt on the last day of the international show.

Under the watchful eye of judges Francis Wheeler and Siobhan Connolly, a total of 23 teams were put through their paces in Warrington Top Flight Equestrian Centre. The course designed by Tom Moloney ensured that the south east were sending their best to the final in Dublin.
