WITH 16 coveted spots available for the Dublin Horse Show in the Children on Horses category, the competition in these qualifiers has always gone down to the wire and is often decided by the narrowest of margins. If the qualifiers are anything to go by, the competition in Simmonscourt will be electric when the 16 combinations line out - four from each qualifier.

At the Meadows, Leinster riders made their presence felt with Alice Hartford and Kilderrys Joint Venture taking the win when they delivered the fastest triple clear. This combination has clocked up some impressive results in the Equijump COH Spring Tour and will be one to watch.
