Anthony Archbold riding Boystown Kal El (IRE) won the Treo Eile Thoroughbred Award at the Connolly’s RED MILLS sponsored AIRC National Dressage Championships last Sunday.

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

Boystown Kal El (IRE), the six-year-old bay gelding, finished on 142.478% after two tests and was well ahead of Sarah Gayer on Home Farm (IRE) for Cill Dara who scored 137.721%.

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.
