“I DIDN’T realise how much of a big deal it was until I tried to do it again!” Those are the words of Claremorris show jumper Shane Goggins when discussing winning the four-year-old championship at the 2010 Dublin Horse Show, aged 19.

Victory came that day aboard Claddagh Cruise On, later renamed Castellana when sold to Cian O’Connor. It took him eight years to win that championship again, eventually doing so in 2018 with JDP Dougland.
