ELEVEN Dressage Ireland judges, from List 3 upwards, travelled over to the CSI5*-W/CDI-W show in Amsterdam late last week on a trip organised by the Judges’ Committee, with special thanks to Donie McNamara and Lynne Cassidy.

Their trainer over Thursday (FEI World Cup class training, four and five-year-old finals, the art of dressage clinic) and Friday (FEI Under 25 dressage, FEI World Cup Grand Prix) was the home-based FEI 4* judge Patricia Wolters.
