THE 2025 Eventing Ireland season, which had a very disrupted spring campaign, concluded last Sunday at a new venue for the sport, Barnadown, Maurice and Felicity Cousins’s well-established equestrian centre outside Gorey.

The event was run by Equus Trials Management, a company recently established by Dereck Hamilton and Will Kearney whose plans for the future include other new one-day events. The former designed and built the cross-country course, while Kearney looked after logistics.
