THE Gilford-based Smith Brothers Eventing team enjoyed a very successful trip to Hazeldene last Saturday with Casey Webb being the first to strike when landing the four-runner EI115 (Open) on June Burgess’ Irish Sport Horse gelding Cecil Bready.

“I’m really fond of him,” said Webb of the Lewis Lowry-bred 11-year-old Templebready Fear Bui bay on whom she took over the ride at the start of the season. “We’ll keep competing him at Intermediate level for the moment and might get in some internationals over the summer. It was great jumping all those natural fences on the cross-country course which was well up to standard and really well-dressed.”
