DESPITE poor weather, the leg of the AIRC South East Region Autumn Showjumping League series, hosted by Barrow Valley Riding Club, went ahead at Carrigbeg Riding Stables as planned last weekend, with the kind permission of Susan Patterson.

The first class to take place under the eye of judge Rory O’Sullivan Hennessy was the newly introduced 50/60 progressive class where four competitors battled it out for the red ribbon. This went the way of the host club member Catriona Doran riding Madame Rouge, second went to Horetown’s Caroline Mason, third to Russelstown’s Una Wall while Barrow Valley’s Shona Maguire took fourth.
