Racehorse To Riding Horse Ireland

Like

We had very good entries for our recent Racehorse to Riding Horse Ireland show, which included classes for both raced and unraced horses in retraining and open classes. The open class on the day served as a qualifier for the Racehorse to Riding Horse All Ireland Championship. There were also veteran and inhand classes, as well as some dressage competitions.


The retraining class was a large group of 9 horses, with Cairlinn Carroll riding Polish Partisan taking the red ribbon. In the unraced section, Jane Bruce and Minnie Minx claimed first place. The open class, was once again well supported with 6 entries and it was young rider Molly Byrne riding Departures who took first place and qualified for the Racehorse to Riding Horse Championship.


The veteran class winner was Cairlinn Carroll with Polish Partisan, followed by Sarah O'Flaherty in second place. The inhand class also had strong participation, with competitors showcasing their beautiful TB horses. Jane Bruce and Minnie Minx impressed the judge in this class, while Victoria McCandless and Da Baba Elephant took second place.


The overall champion of the day was awarded to Jane Bruce and Minnie Minx, with Cairlinn Carroll as Reserve Champion with Polish Partisan. Riders also had the opportunity to showcase their skills in the dressage arena. In the intro section, Jane Bruce took the lead, while Anna Morrow won the preliminary class and Cairlinn Carroll won the novice class.


A big thank you to Julie Morris from Racehorse to Riding Horse Ireland, our ground judge Corey Mawhinney and ride judge Shannon Magee. Thank you also to Blackhorse Photography and Bluebell Bakery and of course all our competitors on the day.
