WHILE this year has proved memorable for all the wrong reasons, September 2020 will be recalled with fondness by Britain’s Hattie Dinnis who made a successful international debut in the CCI*1-Intro at Ballindenisk last weekend on Ardeo Castleconnor.

Dinnis, one of three Kent-born triplets, was mentioned in these pages some weeks back as taking a night-time financial accounting degree at Griffith College while working for Melanie and Neil Wyrnn at their Ardeo Sport Horses’ yard in Co Wicklow. She had then partnered Ardeo Castleconnor to win a division of the EI100 at Loughanmore.
