IRISH riders have been marking their mark on Florida’s dressage scene in recent weeks, with Limerick native Sarah Jane Arthur and Galway’s Shauna Finneran earning some good results at the Winter Equestrian Festival.

Both girls are based at Foster Meadow Farm in New Hampshire, under the guidance of Pamela Goodrich. They make the trip south to Florida each winter for the WEF. “It’s definitely cool to be in the midst of the show scene here, different but very exciting,” said Sarah Jane.
