“FAIR play to the team at Hazeldene Farm as they’ve really dug the Northern Region out of a hole this season,” said Sarah Sproule, winner of the EI110 at Andrew and Laura Napier’s Ballynahinch equestrian centre last Saturday on her own Ballyneety Cavalier Imp.

“Andrew had made enough adjustments to the cross-county course since the last day to make it interesting but, what’s different about Hazeldene Farm is that it’s always hard to make the time here. You really want a neat, nimble horse and that’s just what my mare is.”
