IT was a day of mixed weather at Tullylish last Saturday when the Stevenson family hosted the first of this year’s qualifiers for the performance Irish Draught championships and the Connemara performance hunter championship at Dublin.

The large entry meant it was also a long day for the ridden display judges Carol Prime and Catherine Abbott plus the jump judge Georgia Stubington. It was a tiring few days for the Young Eventhorse Series co-ordinator Angela McGahern who had been on duty at Tullylish the previous Tuesday and again on Saturday.
