THE very much in-form partnership of Karen McKee and her six-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Furstlove KPCM followed up their recent impressive success in the Preliminary championship at the Inter Regional Finals in Ballindenisk by recording a cross-grade double at Laurel View last Sunday.

Lucy Adams (List 3A), who shared the judging duties at this Dressage Ireland Northern Region show with Julie Green (British Dressage List 3), awarded the pair clear table-topping scores of 76% in the Preliminary BD4 and 72.29 in the Novice BD4. Obviously not prepared to sit on her laurels, McKee is among those attending the Dressage Ireland camp at Castle Irvine, Necarne this weekend.
