Swamp fever scare hits Irish dressage team
The organisers of the British Young Riders Dressage Scheme [BYRDS] U25 championships have today withdraw their invitation to Dressage Ireland to compete at the championships in Lincolnshire, England.
This is due to the outbreak of swamp fever (equine infectious anaemia) in Ireland.
Dressage Ireland Youth Development Director Robert McCormick said that the organisers had made the decision with much regret and they would be extending an invitation to Dressage Ireland for the 2007 renewal.
