WITH equestrian centres back up and running, there was a good attendance at Galway Equestrian last Sunday for its first training event. Galway Equestrian opted to offer a prize fund in each of their classes, a move which was very much welcomed by riders and owners.

In a bid to give something back to riders, Galway EC allocated 50% of the entry fee into the prize fund in 1m to 1.30m classes each day. In the 1m, all double clears got prize money, while the 1.10m, 1.20m, 1.30m were all run as a two-phase class with the second round timed and the prize fund allocated one to four.
