AS in previous years, the Young Rider Dublin Horse Show qualifiers went down to the wire and, with each combination earning their place over four demanding qualification series, the stage is set for a thrilling week of competition at the Dublin Horse Show. This year the margins between the leading riders have been incredibly fine throughout the qualifiers, setting the stage for what could be one of the most closely-fought Young Rider championships of this year’s Dublin Horse Show.

The race for coveted Dublin Horse Show tickets for young riders began in Mullingar and this year young riders were well and truly up for the challenge.
