THE Midlands and Western Region of Dressage Ireland ran a low-key show last Sunday at Drumindoo Stud, where the sole judge on duty was Vida Tansey (List 1). For all that there was a small entry on a busy day countrywide on the equestrian front, there were some interesting results here such as a home win in the Preliminary DI18 for show organiser Ailise Foy riding the eight-year-old black cob mare Clew Bay Elegant Eve (70.21).

With seven runners, this was the best supported class of the day. In the five-strong Preliminary DI4, Emi Gallagher claimed the honours on 67.60 with the seven-year-old Patrick Connolly-bred Irish Sport Horse mare CSF Tessa (Tyson - CSF Fair Exchange, by Flipper d’Elle).
