HORSE Sport Ireland and Interschools Ireland teamed up to provide an informative training day at the National Sports Arena in Abbotstown for last year’s interschools league winners. Hosted by course designer Tom Holden, last Monday’s bursary show jumping training clinic was attended by pupils from Newbridge College, Kildare and St Mary’s, Knockbeg.

Among the riders taking part was Newbridge’s Caoimhe Sweeney, Sarah Behan, Amy Carroll, Emily O’Brien, Daniel Fitzgerald and Caragh Sweeney while Leah Heffernan, Sophie Carroll, Alanna Kelly and Leah Ross were on foot, listening and learning from Holden.
