FORMER flat jockey Amy Parsons, whose previous Eventing Ireland successes had come in EI 90 Amateur classes, recorded her first non-confined victory when landing the EI 100 section at Glandoran on Saturday with her own Mighty Max.

Both horse and rider were born in Wales, Parson’s grandfather John breeding the six-year-old gelding who is by the coloured Dutch warmblood jumping stallion Hercorose (who John used to stand) out of a Welsh Section C/thoroughbred cross mare.
