A PANEL of six judges was engaged to officiate at last Sunday’s Dressage Ireland Leinster Region show at Redhills Stud, where one judge and numerous riders made a quick re-appearance having been in action at Marlton the previous day.

Donie McNamara and Jane Whitaker, both List 1, assessed all tests from Medium level upwards. Not too surprisingly, they faced their biggest fields at Medium level, where McNamara’s overall leaderboard in the seven-strong DI65 was topped on 66.88% by Jessica Kuehnle and Margaret Kinsella’s 17-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Sammy Davis Junior (Imperial Hights - Cornasaus Connie, by Condios), who are competing in the CCI4*-S at the Millstreet international horse trials this weekend.
