THE North Derry Branch ran the Area 17 dressage on Saturday at The Meadows where there was no question of riders competing without jackets as they had done the previous day as the weather had turned cool and windy.

Loyal show jumping stewards Janet and Lithgow Currie handed over the role to Coreen Abernethy on Saturday when all competitions were held on grass. Hopefully, that wasn’t the reason there were only four starters in the Open class won by the North Downs’ Eve Adair riding the 15-year-old mare Dot who she competes at Elementary level with Dressage Ireland.
