THE Northern Region of Dressage Ireland held its regional finals last Sunday at Connell Hill where horses carrying the prefix of owner Carolyn Mellor’s Vision Sport Horses claimed two championships during a day when the judging duties fell to Rosie Gomes and Donie McNamara.

Having won the Big Tour at the South East Region’s Summer Festival the previous weekend, Mellor concluded the regular season in style as she took Sunday’s Open title on the 14-year-old Sandreo bay VSH Beaulero (66.63%) ahead of Joan Adrain and the 15-year-old Florencio gelding VSH Florenciano (66.32).
