DUNGARVAN Agricultural Show played host to the latest Tattersalls Ireland Treo Eile Showing Pathway Series qualifier, with Claire Gilna and Dick Frisby presiding as judges. A bumper entry of 11 horses across both sections made for two competitive classes.

In the novice section, cheers could be heard around the showground when Present Appeal and Chloe Draper were pulled in as winners. Although it was the combination’s first time in the show ring, they had three point-to-point runs together earlier this year. Their last run came in May and, after a few weeks at grass, the five-year-old Sholokov gelding was brought back into work. “I didn’t know what to expect, but he’s such a gent,” commented a delighted Draper. “I’ve had to borrow all the gear from everyone, I’ve a great support crew!”
