THREE young horse classes, judged more on potential than performance, took place on Saturday at the South East Region’s NutriScience Classic in Spruce Lodge where four combinations lined out in both the FEI competition for four-year-olds and the Dressage Ireland national young horse test for five-year-olds.

These classes, which were sponsored by Shanaclune Equine Dentistry, were commented on by visiting judges, Jeanette Wolfs and Karen Retera from The Netherlands, who provided riders with direct feedback at the conclusion of each test.
