dublin horse show 2023
Medb had a fantastic week at the Dublin Horse Show in August.
Early on Thursday morning, saw Medb go clear and secure 5th place with Sparkling Taylor Maid in the 138 6-7 year old class.
Later in the afternoon, riding her favourite pony Leiiaish Lady Penelope, Medb secured 4th place in the 128 class and reach the Grand Final.
And on the final day of the show, Medb gave an equitation master class, to secure 3rd place on her chestnut gelding Tyrrellspass Louis.
To qualify for, and place at the Dublin Horse show, with three different ponies, is quite a feat for a young girl. Beyond an innate talent, Medb's commitment, hard work and dedication to improving her equestrian skills keeps her at the top.
