THE judging duties in the TRI Equestrian dressage section of last Sunday’s Killossery Riding Club spring show were divided between Yvonne Monahan and June Loughran, who also had to judge the final of the North Eastern Region spring dressage league.

Eleven years after landing one of the top races at the 2013 Punchestown Festival, the Grade 1 Ryanair Novice Chase, the French-bred gelding Arvika Ligeonniere was in winning form at Killossery Lodge Stud, where he was partnered to victory in the RCE by Copperfield’s Louise Duffy. The 19-year-old Arvico gelding, who won 10 races in total, also finished second in Sunday’s RC80 open performance hunter class to that section’s champion, Morgiana Minstrel.
