IT was all change at the top of Dressage Ireland late in the 2023 season, when it was announced at the annual general meeting of the organisation, on November 8th, that Marguerite Kavanagh was stepping down as chair following a term of office, which she took up roughly three and a half years previously, serving on the board for six.

Under Kavanagh’s watch, there was a revamp of the DI website, cost-cutting exercises were implemented, as was a health and safety review.
