ORLA Roche, who owns and runs the very busy Wexford Equestrian Centre along with husband Pat Peare, has numerous roles to fill when it comes to the Stepping Stones to Success league, but early this week expanded her list of jobs to include traffic watching.

Thankfully, all had quietened down on the roads by Tuesday, so Roche could concentrate on the first points-scoring leg of the league and organise the presentation of prizes (including a €500 bridle from the sponsors for the winners of both Childèric Saddles young horse classes).
