WITH all the competition suspended due to heavy rain, today (Sunday) was all about the final trot up for the event horses ahead of tomorrow’s final, which will start at 3pm Irish time (10am local time).

So the rain did come and although parts of the venue did experience some patches of flooding, there was no wind or gale worth talking about. The arena surfaces and, most importantly, the stabling areas remain in perfect condition with no flooding. I am positive the final jumping round, and the dressage Freestyle, could have gone ahead today.
