DESPITE all the restrictions and lockdowns in the past 18 months or so, the Judges Committee of Dressage Ireland managed to arrange training for those on List 6 to 3A while around a dozen people moved on to the overall list or upgraded.

Unfortunately, Britain-based training for higher level judges was not possible although some did take place during the Horse Sport Ireland National Championships at Barnadown in September. The Committee plans to re-establish training in Britain in the New Year.
