DERRY’s David Simpson landed the biggest prize at the 2019 Horse of the Year show when galloping to victory in the three-star Leading Showjumper of the Year Grand Prix on Sunday night.

Riding the relatively new mount to his stable, KDW Horses BVBA & De Wachter Bart’s Gentlemen VH Veldhof, Simpson came out on top in a huge 16-horse jump-off to beat some of Britain’s best known stars of the sport.
