CIAN O’Connor gave a masterclass in show jumping at Millstreet Horse Show yesterday, taking the top two places in the €25,000 grand prix, having earlier won the prestigious Boomerang final.

LAST weekend’s Monte Carlo Global Champions Tour (GCT) contest caused difficulties across the board and Billy Twomey feels it would be unfair to draw conclusions from the performance of any horse, including his own Tinka’s Serenade.

SHOW JUMPER Shane Breen and Captain David O’Brien were among five riders to share second place in yesterday’s Hickstead Derby, with the notoriously challenging competition providing just one clear round.
