THE lure of competing at the Dublin Horse Show was underlined again on Wednesday at The Meadows where there were 171 starters at the second of the RDS working hunter pony qualifiers.

Gillian Creighton judged the jumping phase over the Charles Hanley-built track with Brian Lewis assessing those who made it through to the second phase for their set show piece on the flat. The top five from each of the five classes secured a qualifying ticket.
