MANY congratulations to Susan O’Brien, a member of the Island Hunt Branch of the Irish Pony Club, who made a winning start to the 2026 Eventing Ireland season at Tyrella last Saturday.

On her first EI outing with Jane Hancock’s 18-year-old thoroughbred gelding Goldman (Gold Well - Dream Cocktail, by Roi Danzig), O’Brien saw off 14 rivals when competing on her winning dressage score (27.3 penalties) in the EI100 (J).
