TO help fund the eventing team’s challenge at Tryon, senior high-performance squad members took part in a very successful three-night demo tour in February – at Maryville Stables (Cork), Spruce Lodge Equestrian and Training Facility (Wicklow) and Portmore Equestrian (Antrim).

The riders were joined in their fund-raising efforts by senior high-performance director Sally Corscadden, dressage coach Ian Woodhead and show jumping coach Ian Fearon. Camilla Speirs’s great Portersize Just A Jiff made a retirement appearance at Spruce Lodge so his army of fans could see him one last time.
