We have been blessed with wonderful weather these last few days and it was great to be able to enjoy the Dressage Ireland competition which was held at Clonshire on Sunday in the sun.
There was a large entry for the show and three of our regular riders Ainne Downes, Emma Tuohy and Michelle Murnane took part in the competition. They all looked great dressed up in their show gear and Ainne had her new horse Poker shining.
The Foley girls Alice and Lydia were competing and did very well for themselves with Lydia taking a first. Other riders were Alice Alexander on Mercury, Sarah McSweeney on Gemini and Clodagh Stapleton on Sienna.
Bethany Quinn was out on her pony Zorro, she won the preliminary championship and came 1st in both of her tests – so well done to Beth and her team (mum Jan who acts as groom and dad John who is the driver). Beth keeps Zorro on livery at Clonshire.
Bruce Basheers’ horse TK (also on livery with us) was competing. Bruce kindly loaned TK to Neringa for the day. They looked amazing and both of their tests were excellent.
All in all it was a good day for Clonshire with plenty of ribbons and lots of happy faces.
