We had a great end to the season at Eventing Ireland’s Punchestown on the 9th of October.   The beautiful 6 year old Numero Uno mare, Ardeo Gold, led from the front at her first EI100 and jumped a beautiful double clear with Neil Wrynn.  Ardeo Castleconnor and Hattie Dinnis contested in their first EI115 which went so well for them, just less than a point behind the dressage leader, riding a super test.  Hattie’s mum, Julie Dinnis, flew in from Sevenoaks in Kent, to drive the lorry!
