MORE than 150 dressage enthusiasts attended the Dane Rawlins first ever master class in Ireland last week. Hosted by the Delahoyde family of Marlton Stud in Wicklow, the master class was the brainchild of David Freeney of Cherry Lodge Stud and undertaken by Eastern Region Dressage.

Rawlins is an international Grand Prix dressage rider and list one judge, director of dressage at Hickstead and was coached at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
