KILDARE’s Heike Holstein dominated the higher graded competitions at last weekend’s Dressage Ireland national winter finals in Cavan EC.

Riding her home-bred mare Sambuca (by Samarant), Holstein repeated her 2017 wins in both the Prix St-Georges and Intermédiare I finals and, for good measure, she also finished second in the Prix St-Georges final on Saturday with Chameur, winner of the weekend’s Advanced final.
