THE AIRC West Midlands Regional Dressage qualifier took place at Roscrea Equestrian Centre on Sunday, July 26th, where riders gathered to compete for their place at the AIRC National Dressage Championships. While the weather was a mixed bag throughout the day, it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of competitors, volunteers or spectators.

Arena 2 got underway with Three Counties secretary Sally Ryan acting as pathfinder aboard her new horse Lord of Winterfell. The pair impressed with a lovely test, making it a successful first competition together and setting the tone for the day.
