THE sun was out in full force at Redhills Stud on Sunday, May 24th for the 2026 AIRC West Leinster Region Dressage Qualifiers, making it a very warm day of competition. Once again hosted by the members of Cill Dara Riding Club at their excellent Kildare venue, Redhills Stud, the event attracted a strong turnout from across the region, with riders and supporters enjoying both the superb weather and high standard of competition.

Clubs from throughout the West Leinster Region came forward, with 12 teams competing for the honour of being crowned regional champions and securing qualification for the National Championships in Mullingar this August. As always, riders from all around the country were also welcomed to compete for individual qualification places, adding depth to each class.
