AS they had the stage to themselves last weekend, there was an excellent entry for Sunday’s Dressage Ireland Eastern Region show at Marlton where the judges were Vida Tansey (List 1), Jane Whitaker (List 2), Bernie Webb (List 3a), Elizabeth Daly (List 6) and Jane Averill (List 6) who recently joined the DI panel.

Averill, who just as recently left her position as office administrator with DI to join Dublin City Council, judged the 25-runner BD Preliminary 15. Here she awarded her top score (73%) to Barry Higgins on Aideen McCormack’s Irish Draught mare Castanasky, a seven-year-old roan by Welcome Emperor out Castana Princess (by Castana).
