A very wet and cold but thrilling day at Lullymore Equestrian yesterday for Leg 2 of our TRI Equestrian Leinster Trec PTV/CoP League 2014!

We had another big entry - 12 for the Open and 22 Novice (34 in total). The venue was fantastic with terrific facilities. The competition was held in their derby field with lots of natural obstacles. It was a demanding but fair course and we even included the new obstacle. You can find the top six results in each class here.

Thanks again to all our wonderful judges, scorers and helpers on the day. And well done to all the competitors. Looking forward to our next PTV/CoP league event in April! Check out our Calendar page for all dates.

A big thank you to everyone who supported the Young Riders Table Quiz: the sponsors of the prizes, people who gave money for raffle tickets and those who came along on the night. It is much appreciated. We had a great night and total of €745 was raised for the team!
