The south east qualifier for the Horseware team show jumping championships at the RDS took place at Ballinamona Equestrian Centre last Sunday in glorious sunshine. Twenty-one teams of four from all over the region took part and with only one place available, the competition was intense.

Noel Phelan’s course was strong but inviting and asked just enough questions. Clear rounds were possible but not too plentiful with only 17 riders getting double clears.
