IT was good to see Mary Horgan win twice already this season on Balladeer Little Mix as time for her own pursuits will shortly become more limited as her two daughters take part in show jumping Ireland competitions and Carbery Pony Club activities.

Mary, who lives between Kilbrittain and Kinsale in west Cork, has been competing the blue and while piebald Balladeer Little Mix for the past three years having purchased the 2011 Hannibal V Overis Z mare as a just broken and riding four-year-old from Allan McSweeney.
