FOLLOWING a frustrating day of placings, Steven Smith finally hit the target at Vesey Lodge last Saturday when landing the 22-runner EI100 class with Ardkyle Je Taime who completed on her dressage score (19) on just her second start under Eventing Ireland rules.

Bred in Co Offaly by Joseph and Geraldine Prendergast, and out of the Concorde mare Kiltubbrid Conquest, the Je T’Aime Flamenco six-year-old has done plenty of show jumping, most recently under owner Kate Keenan who just finds the mare, who she considers a ‘super star’, too big to ride.
