THE second and final Eventing Ireland one-day of the season at the Wilding family’s Rosanna House was held last Saturday when the heavy rain which was forecast failed to arrive but there was no holding back the wave of riders from outside the Garden County who won the unrestricted classes.

It was unfortunate for the organisers that the event at Ballindenisk the following day featured one of the season’s rare EI120 classes so many riders bypassed the Co Wicklow event in favour of that in Co Cork. Not so however, Co Wexford’s Patrick Whelan who rode five horses at both fixtures and won a pair of two-runner classes here.
