CONGRATULATIONS to Emily Grimes and Keira Crowther who, on Saturday, became the first riders to qualify for the new Elementary level class being staged at the Irish Pony Club’s national dressage championships in CoilÓg on Tuesday, March 31st.

Performing the UK Pony Club Open Championships test 2018, the pair did so at the Dressage Ireland Eastern Region show in Marlton where List 1 judge Jane Whitaker awarded her winning score (70.94%) to Bray Branch member Grimes on the well-known Millridge Buchaill Bui. This 21-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding by Templebready Fear Bui represented Ireland at five European pony eventing championships under various members of the Nelson/Connors family.
