THE first leg of the inaugural Gain Equine Nutrition EI100 series was hosted last Saturday by the Northern Region of Eventing Ireland at Glenpatrick where, despite some older horses starting in the two divisions, it was good to see younger, less-experienced animals emerge as winners.

Section A was landed by the newcomer Lougherne Bellissima whose rider, Hannah Blakely, was making her first EI appearance since the 2019 National Championships.
