THERE are eight Regions in the Association of Irish Riding Clubs, but only two were represented by title winners at last Sunday’s Connolly’s Red Mills/AIRC national show jumping championships at the Mullingar Equestrian Centre.

Four came from the West Region including Stracomer’s Clódagh Ní Bhrádaigh, who landed the RC80 Championship on the confusingly-named Ballyclogher Queen, and Tynagh’s Diane Baylis Maher, winner of the RC90 Championship with Lilly Dane. These were two well-filled classes.
