TWO qualifiers for the Irish Draught performance championship at Balmoral Show (May 14th to 17th) were held last Sunday at Tubberbride Equestrian where they were run by the Western Region of Eventing Ireland, in conjunction with the third round of their Berts Properties Starter Series.

Westport’s Amy Grady had good reason to be pleased with her foray into Co Sligo as she qualified three horses to compete in the Main Arena at Balmoral Park. The Farmhill Highlander gelding Murrisk Paudie not only won his four and five-year-old class, but also picked up the day’s Sea Warrior Sea Supplments turn-out prize.
