TIPPERARY Equestrian played host to the final of the RDS Amateur qualifiers last Saturday with 131 combinations battling it out in the Boomerang Horse and Country-sponsored round. This round was made up of 40 AA riders and 71 A category riders.

Claiming the first ticket was Martin Flesk (AA) when he partnered Killuppaun Magic to a clear in 30.66. This combination will not be fazed by the challenge having finished third in the Championship at the 2017 Dublin Horse Show. Owned by Flesk, the 15-year-old mare is by Hermes De Reve out of the Cavalier Royale-sired Cavalier Arch.
