Double win for Sue and 'Lily' at Hagans Croft

Competition mounts as dressage league final approaches

The fourth leg of Hagans Croft’s five-week dressage league was held on Saturday, July 27. The sun came out for the occasion, which was very much welcomed on the day by all competitors, as they turned down the centre line riding Dressage Ireland tests.

The Intro and Newcomers tests were dominated by Sue Stevenson and her grey mare 'Lily', scoring 68% and above in each class to achieve first place in both classes. It was great to see Samantha O'Sullivan back on board and back at Hagans Croft to compete on 'Redpark Clover', the pair were delighted to take home first place in the Prelim test, with a score of 66% - onwards and upwards for this super partnership!
