THE fourth leg of the Stepping Stones to Success league, colloquially referred to as Viewing Day, was held at Wexford Equestrian on Tuesday when those who competed in the young event horse classes enjoyed doing so in sunshine while those with later start times got a real soaking.

Gillian Kyle once again popped down from Co Wicklow to the Tomhaggard venue, this time to assess all forward in the dressage phase, while the jumping judge duties were divided between longtime Stepping Stones advocate Ian Fearon (show jumping) and Dag Albert (cross-country), Horse Sport Ireland’s high performance manager for eventing young riders and senior athletes.
