THREE qualifiers for the Pegus Horse Feed performance Irish Draught championship at Balmoral Show (May 13th to 16th) were held in the past week, the first being hosted in beautiful weather by the Stuart family at Gransha Equestrian Centre last Saturday.

The judging duties were split between Angela Fynn and Helen Troughton, with the former assessing those forward on the flat in the younger horse class while Troughton judged the jumping phase. The duo then swapped roles for the six-year-old and upwards division.
