Double triumph for Lehane

WEST Cork exhibitor Seamus Lehane had a highly successful visit to Limerick Show, where he took both the young horse and filly championships.

The Clonakilty exhibitor won the young horse title with his bay yearling gelding Ballard Eagle, bred by fellow west Cork man Denis Collins, Skibbereen, by the thoroughbred Master Imp out of the Irish sport horse dam Carrigroe Princess.

Lehane took the filly championship with Watervalley Galway Girl, by the Irish sport horse stallion, Loughehoe Guy, out of Ballycolin (ISH). The filly was bred by Sean Thomas Lydon at his Watervalley Stud in Co Galway.
