GILFORD’s Hollie Smith marked the first running of the Eventing Ireland Northern Region one-day event at Moyallen last Saturday with an all-the-way, clear-cut win on her dressage score in the EI100 (Amateur), with the Irish Sport Horse gelding Mr Diceman (23 penalties).

This was a sixth win of the season for Smith and the Ringfort Cruise gelding, who was bred by John McBride out of the thoroughbred mare Love On The Wing (by Winged Love). The bay is owned by the rider’s father Steven, whose day was cut short following a fall when first out on the cross-country course.
