THE third round of the Horse Sport Ireland/Dressage Ireland Autumn Development Series was held last Saturday at Portmore Equestrian where it was good to see so many members of other DI Regions take on their Northern Region counterparts.

However, the locals did a very good job in holding off the raiders, winning all but two of the graded qualifying classes with Gransha Equestrian’s Courtney Stuart landing four of the 10 on Favorino (Preliminary and Novice) and HH Empire (Advanced and Prix St George).
