LIST 2 judge Bernie Foley, who assessed some of the Trailblazer riders on Monday, organised judges’ training for List 5 and List 6 judges, plus candidate judges, on day one of the Botanica International Dressage In The City Summer Festival at the National Horse Sport Arena last weekend.

“I was delighted with the response,” said Foley. “We had 11 people who are all studying to upgrade or join the judges’ panel in the next few months.

“It was interactive training on the Preliminary and Novice classes and it went very well. I would like to thank Leinster Dressage, organisers of this Festival, for facilitating us.”
