THE second leg of the Horse Sport Ireland and Dressage Ireland autumn development series was held last Saturday at the Ryan family’s Tipperary Equestrian Centre outside Thurles where some excellent results were recorded by horses bred in this country.

The two home-based members of the Irish team who qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, Kate Dwyer and Heike Holstein, were in action with the former striking twice in qualifying classes on the Irish Sport Horse mare Harmony who she jointly-owns with her mother, Maureen.
