DRESSAGE Ireland is holding a Level 1 stewards’ course this spring for DI members aged 18 and over and demand for places for the zoom session on Saturday, February 11th proved so popular that a second will take place a week later. The practical part of the course will be conducted during the National Winter Finals at Castle Irvine, Necarne over the weekend of April 12th and 13th.

For those Finals, Preliminary to Advanced Medium level riders – including all those targeting Trailblazer, FEI Ponies, FEI Juniors, FEI Children and Para Equestrian classes – must attain one score of 64% or above and must have competed at three DI shows within the qualifying period at the level they are going to compete at the Co Fermanagh venue.
