THE Young Eventhorse Series returned to Forth Mountain on Tuesday, when local Co Wexford riders had a rewarding day, starting with Aaran Boggan, who won Section A of the four-year-old class with John Roche’s home-bred Glynndale Luna.

This grey Irish Sport Horse mare by Glynnwood Cornet out of Glynndale Arkanna (by Arkan), who has had one run in an EI90 and has jumped at local shows, completed on a total of 276.2 marks to claim the first qualifying ticket for the Dublin Horse Show.

Over from the west, Jason Doerflinger qualified in second with Ralph Conroy’s home-bred ISH gelding Milchem Mirage (275.2), a Tyson full-brother to Milchem Giovanni who finished fifth in the final of this class last year, won his Burghley young event horse qualifier at Millstreet, was placed at the final and was subsequently sold for €80,000 at last November’s Goresbridge Go For Gold Sale. Milchem Mirage narrowly failed to qualify for Burghley when third at Millstreet last month.

Co Cork’s Michael Ryan claimed the third ticket on offer here with Neva McNamara’s home-bred ISH gelding Streamstown Pride (273.7) who is by Qui Vive des Songes Z out of the Watermill Swatch mare September Song.

In Section B, Ciara Kinsella recorded a very comfortable victory on her previously-qualified home-bred ISH mare Tykillen Dancer (286.7), a chesnut daughter of Udancer Hero. The first of two tickets was thus awarded to the second-placed BT Bon Vivant (279.7), a Vivant van de Heffinck gelding, ridden for owner/breeder Bridget Speirs by Diarmuid Ryan.

Although finishing some way off the pace on 269.2, Godfrey Gibbons qualified in third with Maurice Coleman’s ISH gelding Kilroe Blue Moon, a grey son of ESI Indigo, who finished ninth under Sian Coleman in the four-year-old Burghley young event horse qualifier at Millstreet last month.

The judges for this age group were Britain’s Angela Tucker and Jane Holderness Roddam (ridden display), Lulu Parkhill (suitability and potential in the presentation phase) and Madeleine Gervais (suitability and potential in the jumping phase).
