FOLLOWING qualifiers at Kilguilkey House and Castle Irvine, Necarne, the final of the Horse Sport Ireland four-year-old eventing development series took place last Wednesday week at the start of the Ballindenisk International Horse Trials.

The judges were the four-star cross-country course designer Helen West, who judged the Dubarry Burghley young event horse final this year, Seppo Laine who was chairman of the ground jury for three classes at Ballindenisk, and British competitor Kirsty Chabert who, last week, failed to add to her good record in Ireland this season.
