Horse Week: Sun shines on Ardnacashel dressage league

EVERYONE enjoyed a beautiful sunny day for the latest dressage league competition at Ardnacashel, with a fantastic atmosphere and some excellent performances throughout the day.

It was wonderful to see so many combinations progressing and enjoying their dressage.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event, and a special thank you to the judge, Mr David Whiteman, for his time, expertise and encouraging feedback throughout the day. Organisers greatly appreciate his support of the dressage league.
