JESSICA Harrington, president of Eventing Ireland, is to sponsor a perpetual trophy for the 2015 Stepping Stones to Success league which gets under way at Wexford Equestrian on Wednesday next, April 1st.

Harrington, who will also be a guest judge at one leg of the five-round series, will present the trophy to a young rider who, in the opinion of the judges, not only has the talent to make it to the top internationally but can also produce young horses to a very high standard.
