A few photos from an amazing day at the Regional dressage/showjumping qualifiers , our wee club fielded 2 Dressage teams finishing in a very respectable 3rd and 4th in a strong field, and one showjumping team that finished in 3rd place. We think we did Rosaleen proud❤️
A huge thanks to Letterkenny Riding Club and stracomer Riding Club for running the event like clockwork.
