MARLTON Stud was the venue for the South Leinster Region’s AIRC dressage qualifier on Sunday. While the day started with rain, it did dry up fairly quickly and the conditions were balmy for the rest of the day, resulting in competitors being allowed to ride without jackets.

A good entry of 10 teams plus individuals produced 137 tests which were judged by Michael Moore, Mairin Cassidy, Claire Fitzsimons and Vicky Clooney, using three arenas.
