IT’S the Horse of the Year Show final all the professionals want to win but in 2019 victory in the prestigious Equitop Myoplast Foxhunter Championship belonged to Simon Crippen on the Irish Sport Horse Premier Titanium.

“Everything went my way on the night; I’ve been placed before in this class but to win it is very special,” said Crippen, who topped a six-horse jump-off over a 1.45m track with almost two seconds in hand.
