KILDARE’S Kate Fahey moved out of Ponies into Junior company this year and, having been placed earlier in the season on Chris Spratling’s Lissyegan Cooley, partnered the Irish Sport Horse gelding to victory in the EI110 (J) championship at Kilguilkey House last weekend.

Fahey and the 14-year-old Martell bay completed on their dressage score (34) to win narrowly from Ali Fitzpatrick and Kelly (34.2), who were two seconds over the time across the country. Erin McClernon led after dressage, but had a fence down show jumping to drop to third on Seapatrick Beachball (36.6).
