THE penultimate qualifier for this year’s Connolly’s Red Mills/Irish Pony Club eventing championships was hosted by the Island Hunt Branch last Sunday at Frankfort Stud, where some new combinations topped the final leaderboards.

There were 11 starters in the Open class, where Carlow’s Rosemary Dundon completed on her winning dressage score (28.25 penalties) with her mother Anne Marie’s 19-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Killags Foxy Lady, a locally-bred chesnut mare by Kings’s Master, who she rode in the CCI2*-S at Millstreet in May.
