A WEEK before her brother Harry represents Ireland at the pony European championships in Bishop Burton, Olivia Swan and Rockon Pedro flew the family flag in the CNCP2*at Crecora. Although there were only three starters, Swan’s good performance was rewarded by a hefty 50-mark margin, and victory from the outset.

The honours in the EI90P went to the 2017 championship pony Myshall Rodge. Formerly partnered by Hannah Adams, and now passed on to the capable Grace Adams, the 12-year-old Connemara has formed a promising partnership with his new jockey. The duo recorded the sole double clear round, to lead the slightly slower Ruby Hughes (Johnny Handsome) and Bryan Bourke (Cillbhrid Pippa).
