Combinations book their places at the RDS Horse Show

In the Four-Year-Old Qualifier, Kate Derwin was a worthy winner, having impressed visiting judges from Europe to take the first place ribbons with ‘Ramiro Be Classe’ owned by Jim Derwin, a Bay gelding by ‘Ramiro B’.

In one of the best displays of young horse jumping, the Five-Year-Old RDS Qualifier was eventually won by Marion Hughes’ MHS Cardenta by international stallion ‘Cardento’. Only 15 combinations made it through the gruelling three round competition without penalty, designed by Tom Holden.

Kilkenny’s Jack Ryan onboard his mother Marguerite’s Bay Gelding ‘BBS McGregor’ by ‘Cardento’ were the eventual winner of the six-year-old qualifier, having gone to the second round and recording one of only nine double clear rounds, to secure the win.

International Course Designer Tom Holden set down a challenging course for the 7/8 year old qualifier. With some technical lines, only seven horses of the 75 starters came home with a clean sheet and in doing so ensured themselves of qualification for the RDS for 2018.
