THE TRI Equestrian Interschools Showjumping Final attracted a large crowd at Mullingar Equestrian Centre last Sunday. Action started in the international arena over a very testing track built by Mullingar’s Robert Fagan and Seamus Casey. The Open Team Championships incorporated the TRI Equestrian Open Team League Final.

Four of the starting schools made it through to the jump-off, including the top league contenders and one of the visiting northern schools. Max Ross riding Ballydavid Sous set a blistering pace, which combined with his jump-off partner Caragh Sweeney’s (Kippure Steepleview Jack) equally fast time sealed the win for Newbridge College over close rivals Borris Vocational School.
