AIDAN Keogh won the Connolly’s Red Mills CNC3* national championship at Tattersalls last weekend with Master Tredstep but it will be sometime before he draws stumps on the 2017 season.

The Tredstep supremo was leading after dressage, but on his second horse, Pride Of Tredstep, who achieved a penalty score of 51.9 from Les Smith (C) and Vanda Robinson (B). However, that Lord Noble mare dropped out of contention due to 20 penalties in the show jumping ring.
