SOME people might yearn for a greenfield site (which involves a lot of work and personnel to set up), but the Glynn family’s Killossery Lodge Stud proved the ideal venue for last Sunday’s Equipeople AIRC national eventing championships.

Yes, the very wet and windy weather finally went through to leave a lovely late autumn afternoon in its wake, but not before giving everyone a good soaking, while the wind was so powerful at one stage that the planks had to be taken out of the show jumping fences in the sand arena to be replaced by poles. The dressage phase took place on grass.
