Round-Up

PAUL Donovan’s Fethard-based stable has enjoyed a fruitful two weeks in the RDS young event horse qualifiers, so it was timely that the yard’s resident rider Corentin Gautier added to the celebrations when winning the EI100 aboard Cashel 13. At only 19 years old, the former French show jumper has adapted well to his new discipline and is according to Donovan, “quite speedy and likes going fast”. He has certainly gelled well with the rangy Cashel 13, who bred by Shane Breen, will probably upgrade next time out.
