YOU know you are a loyal reader when the first port of call on a Saturday morning is to get The Irish Field. Charles Hanley, well-known to readers as owner of Claremorris Equestrian Centre, host of multiple shows of all disciplines, father of international rider Cormac Hanley, as well as wearing many other ‘hats’, is one of those loyal readers.

Even when on holiday in Kinvara last weekend, he stopped to take a break and read the paper. Fair play Charles!
