THE Irish Pony Club’s national dressage championships, sponsored by Equieire, are taking place at CoilÓg next Tuesday, March 31st, at the start of the schools’ Easter holiday break.

The organisers, headed up by Kate Harvey, the IPC’s chair of dressage and combined training, closed the entries at 350. Six arenas will be in use throughout the day with a rota of 12 judges officiating. These will be backed up by a large crew of scribes, call-up stewards, scorers, etc. The results will go up live on the IPC’s Facebook page during the championships.
