THE Young Eventhorse Series organisers held Tuesday’s penultimate qualifier at the new venue of Orchard Lodge, the Co Kildare home and event yard of Kieran Connors and Michelle Nelson.

The wonderful facilities, good going and excellent courses were matched by the numerous, helpful volunteers who, like the officials, were well fed and watered. One of Michelle’s many tasks included collecting the ridden display sheets which ensured that she got her steps in for the day.
