ANNE Stanley, who has coached many riders very successfully over the years in all equestrian disciplines, staged a workshop recently at the Castlehill Equestrian Centre in Julianstown which ran under the title ‘Through the Eyes of the Judge’.

The event was billed as giving a practical insight into the judging of equitation jumping (ponies) and working hunter classes and the difference between them and such was the interest that 65 people turned up to hear and learn from Tom Holden, Mairead Ryan and Derval Diamond.
