THE final leg of the 2025 Stepping Stones to Success league was held on Wednesday when locally-based riders won three of the day’s classes at Pat Peare and Orla Roche’s Wexford Equestrian where the sun shone throughout the day and points and a half were on offer.

Irish Olympian Austin O’Connor flew in to judge the cross-country section of the jumping challenge, Ian Fearon continued to judge the action over the coloured poles, Anne Maire Dunphy assessed all forward for dressage and Johnny Kyle judged conformation and type, a phase on final’s day for all classes bar thoroughbreds.
