SHOW jumper Denis Lynch and his wife, Australian show jumper Julia, introduced their first child into the world last month.

Nick Alan Lynch was born on March 22nd, a little brother for Denis’ daughter Sarah.

However, Denis didn’t have long to stay home and help with night feeds as he was preparing to jet to the FEI World Cup Finals in Omaha, Nebraska, USA, where he finished in 17th place in last Sunday’s final aboard the great stallion All Star 5.

Denis and Julia were married at the five-star Ballyfin Demense in Co Laois last October after years of dating. A former Olympian, Julia (Hargreaves) represented Australia at the 2012 London Olympic Games with Vedor.
