FOR the first time this season, there was a divide in one of the ridden classes at an RDS Connemara qualifier as the four and five-year-old class at Scarteen last Saturday attracted an entry of 31.

In such a scenario, the top three pony and rider combinations in each division qualify, and a reserve pony and rider combination will be identified in each. The task of judging this ridden section at the popular Co Limerick venue fell to Faith Ponsonby.
