Just two days after the announcement that Ireland will send a dressage team to the forthcoming Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Normandy, history was also made at home with a record entry of over 230 for the Leinster Region Dressage show at Coilóg in Kildare last Sunday.

The venue is new to the pure dressage circuit, and riders and organisers were full of praise for the facilities and perfect footing, while the four arenas were a frenzy of activity with 27 competitions.
