THERE was a strong field of 27 combinations in the EI115 (Open) at Tyrella 1 last Saturday, nine of whom were awarded sub-30 penalty dressage scores by Vanda Stewart.

Topping her leaderboard were Kilkenny-based British International rider John Tilley and the Dutch Warmblood gelding Licence To Cooley who, despite the addition of 2.8 cross-country time penalties, ran out the comfortable winners on 23.3.
