Liisa Rantamaki riding Bobby Cool (IRE) won the Treo Eile Thoroughbred Award at the Connolly’s RED MILLS sponsored AIRC National Dressage Championships last Sunday.

The Tara Hill rider ended up with the highest combined percentage of the 3 thoroughbreds competing at the championships who were eligible for consideration to win the €100 training bursary.

Bobby Cool (IRE), the seven-year-old grey gelding, finished on 130.069 after two tests.

Treo Eile connects, supports and promotes second-career options for thoroughbreds when their racing careers are over.

Owners of thoroughbreds are asked to register their horses on www.treoeile.com (FOR FREE), as this data assists Treo Eile in obtaining the funding to provide these bursaries.
