THE Northern Region of Dressage Ireland held the second leg of its Brass Stables UK and Ireland winter league last Saturday at Danescroft, where they also hosted the final qualifier in this year’s DAFM Studbook Series.

Most disappointingly, given that this final round included two pony classes, just 21 combinations started in the qualifying competitions, where the judging duties were divided between Dermot Cannon (List 1) and Michael Moore (2A).
