THEY may not have appreciated the fact at the time but, given the heavy rain of the previous night and the wet and wild conditions on Sunday, the organisers of Saturday’s Dressage Ireland Eastern Region show at Marlton Stud were blessed with a dry, bright day for their league finals.

Regional committee member Siofra Pratt left the Wicklow venue with three titles in the bag having won the Novice league on InCobnito and both Elementary and Medium leagues with Ballarin My Grace, the Irish Sport Horse mare on whom she had won the Medium Category 2 national championship at Ballindenisk on their previous start. She had topped all three leagues following the penultimate leg last month.
