LOUISE Lyons made a very productive trip across the Irish Sea to compete First Rate (Olly) in flat and working hunter classes at the Equi-Trek Bramham International Horse Trials.

Starting Paulette Cooper’s son of Obelix in a strong open lightweight flat division, a qualifier for the 2019 Royal International Horse Show (RIHS), the six-year-old turned many heads and stood top of a strong line-up.
