After winning the European title in Italy last year Alice Hurley on Deseado were selected to compete at their first senior CDI3 (Concours de Dressage International) representing Ireland in the Small Tour classes at Keysoe in Bedfordshire.

The combination produced three solid tests and with a 68.6% on the final day gained a place in the prize giving. The pair was also awarded their first Copa ANCCE medal of the year to the SICAB Small Tour qualification at the world championship in Seville.
