Description

Good Evening Ulster reports in 1986 on Georgia Stubbington, who is hoping to compete in the Eventing World Championships in Australia. She explains that no funds were forthcoming from Ireland to send her to the championships, so she is having to pay for the costs of attending the event herself. Only a contribution from the authorities in Australia for transporting her horse, Kells, will make the trip possible at all.

Having started riding at the age of two, Georgia has won a number of medals riding in team three-day eventing. Although she worries about the stress of flying her horse to the other side of the world, she is determined to be an ambassador for the sport in Ireland.
