THE committee of the North East Region of the Association of Irish Riding Clubs held a two-day Festival last weekend at the Cheval Club’s showgrounds in Jordanstown which attracted great sponsorship.

Saturday’s dressage section was title-sponsored by REA Fitzgerald Chambers and Darragh Equestrian whose respective representatives, Helena Fitzgerald and Helena Walsh, congratulated all the winners. The highest score recorded over the 11 classes judged by Máire Quinlan-Pluck and Jean Halpenny was 73.27% which won the RC N championship class for Killegar treasurer Jillian Southern on Ardmount Rio, a tall, 17-year-old Irish Sport Horse mare by Vriend.
