KATE Dwyer (36) made more history for Irish dressage last Saturday when winning the CDI5* Grand Prix Special at the Commercial Bank CHI Al Shaqab in Doha, Qatar, becoming the first Irish rider ever to do so.

Part of that historic all-female team who qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games at the FEI European Championships, Dwyer rode her own and her mother Maureen’s 14-year-old part-Shire gelding Snowdon Faberge to victory in the last, scoring a personal best of 70.04%.
