THE third leg of the Eventing Ireland Western Region’s combined training league at Milchem Equestrian Centre was held last Sunday when competitors once again enjoyed the best of the country’s weather.

Scotland’s Duncan McFadyen, who runs his own yard out of Ralph Conroy’s Tynagh venue, rode five horses on the day. Four of these were in the 23-runner CT80 where, on his Marian Slattery-awarded dressage scores, he filled the top three places with a trio of four-year-olds and is now the leading senior rider in the overall league.
