NOT since 2007 has an Irish Sport Horse won a gold medal at the FEI WBFSH young event horse championships, back when Cast Away II (TIH), bred by the late Noel Cawley won a vintage seven-year-old final.

That gap has now been bridged by Brookfield Danny de Muze, bred near Kells, Co Meath, by Donal Callery, whose brother Michael bred the Le Lion dual graduate Greenacres Special Cavalier that went on to win Badminton CCI5*-L.
