CO Louth’s Mark McAuley landed a brilliant win in the Speed and Handiness competition at the five-star Geneva Horse Show in Switzerland last Saturday.

The class, which included galloping through an open water, tight rollbacks and two doubles of verticals, was highly competitive and McAuley guided Scea Kalimba’s nine-year-old gelding Vivaldi du Theil to a ultra quick clear round in a time of 61.34.
