SEVEN judge candidates presented themselves for upgrading at last weekend’s Horse Sport Ireland national dressage championships at Barnadown, Co Wexford and, of these, six were successful.

Paula Geiger, Jean Halpenny and Danielle Reid have upgraded to List 4, Anne Glynn moves up to List 3 while Bernie Webb and Jane Whitaker have upgraded to List 3A. The List 1 and 2 exams have had to be delayed due to Covid restrictions. These exams take place in Britain and training will resume over there early next year.
