    Dressage demo in Simmonscourt

    SADHBH O’Toole from Clifden, Co Galway, who competed at the Charles Owen/British Dressage youth home nations’ international in Wales last weekend (see page 84), will be one of the riders featuring in the dressage display at next week’s Dublin Horse Show.

    “I’m delighted with how Pete (Next Diamond) performed over the three-day competition,” O’Toole said. “He’s a super cool six-year-old, who I’ve had since a yearling and broke in and produced myself.

    “It’s such a rewarding process with this young horse and I can’t wait to perform our first Freestyle at the Dublin Horse Show next week!”

    Kate Murphy, Sean Burgess and Belinda Brereton are also taking part in the display, which is scheduled to start at 2.50pm on Wednesday in Simmonscourt. Get there early and you can catch the first round of the 128cm show jumping championship.
