FOR the first time in many years, Dressage Ireland competition returned to CoilÓg Equestrian Centre last Sunday when large numbers attended the Leinster Region show at the Byrne family’s Co Kildare venue.

While Leinster Horse and Pony Rescue were selling raffle tickets, cards and calendars, there were a couple of trade stands as well including the new Irish equestrian brand Equieire. Company owner Emma Keogh and Lynn Cadogan of Double L Equestrian judged the show’s best turned-out competition and their winner was Evin Foley and the eight-year-old Corland gelding Whiterock Highland.
