In the unraced section, Jane Bruce and Minnie Minx claimed first place. The open class, was once again well supported with 6 entries and it was young rider Molly Byrne riding Departures who took first place and qualified for the Racehorse to Riding Horse Championship.The veteran class winner was Cairlinn Carroll with Polish Partisan, followed by Sarah O'Flaherty in second place. The inhand class also had strong participation, with competitors showcasing their beautiful TB horses.
