THE stylish New Zealand rider Sam Lissington bought up a double at last week’s Millstreet international horse trials when completing on her dressage score with Nadal (29.9 penalties) in the Coral Cove CCIYH2*-S, a class she landed last year on her 2*-L winner of 2024, Mr Cookie Time.

This time, however, Lissington made an even bigger impression, as she also finished second in the six and seven-year-old class on Never Know MB who, too, finished on his first phase score (30.4). Millstreet regular, Britain’s Flora Harris slotted into third, also on her flat work mark, with the Irish Sport Horse mare Cillbhrid Mable (31.3), a Balou du Rouet bay, on whom she won a Novice class at Aston-Le-Walls last month.
