THE Harlequin du Carel gelding Rehy I Am A Star won two classes at last year’s Dublin Horse Show for owner Patrick Cotter and rider Rosemary Connors and is doubly-engaged next week as well.

This time however, the now six-year-old appears in the ownership of Connors’s sister Claire, who qualified the bay at Waterford County Fair for Thursday’s Lindt ladies’ sidesaddle class, in which Rosemary is due to partner James Lynch’s Golden Lariat five-year-old, Barnacurra Maximus Meridius, who booked his ticket at the same venue.

Fourteen qualifiers from five shows nationwide are due to enter Ring 2 at the rather late hour of 6.30pm on Ladies’ Day to be judged by Amy Bryan-Dowell (ride) and Pat Stirling (conformation). Also listed is the 2014 winner, Cheryl Cusack’s Ricardo Z gelding Whitfield Jack Of Hearts, while Leonie O’Gorman rides the eye-catching Emperor Augustus grey Redwood Silver Slipper.

A second grey who fills the eye is Loughlin & O’Rourke’s Russel gelding Tandys Bridge (Jennifer Kennedy).

Another by a Holstein stallion, but in his case Cobra, is Antonia de Burgh’s Gypsy Cobra Cruis, who is also entered in the working hunter section. Lesley Webb rides Vanessa Ramm’s Ricardo Z gelding Billet Doux with Andrea McKee taking the mount on the stable’s Vantage Point.

The newly-introduced Lindt-sponsored intermediate class for horses 148cms or over but not exceeding 158cms sees a full field of 15 due to appear before Bryan-Dowell shortly after noon on Sunday.

Among the combinations qualified are Annie Kavanagh and her mother Mary’s Connemara General Rossalougha, winners of the junior sidesaddle class year.

Also listed are the Balmoral winners, Robyn Catterall and Mike Lewis’s small hunter entry Carnsdale Irish Times, while Amory McMahon, who partners Helena Hennessy Ruane’s Cloneyhea Clancy in the ladies’ class, here rides her mother Kate’s home-bred Nautilus mare Inis Faith.
