KILKENNY’s leading young rider Jack Ryan won three one-star young horse classes with David Cullen’s five-year-old KWPN-bred mare J’Adore at Sentower Park last week.

Bred by Stal Meursing, the Zavall VDL mare won the five-year-old class on Thursday and Friday before going on to take victory in Sunday’s final, keeping a clean sheet for the duration of the show. The 17-year-old took over the ride on the horse in early 2019, having been produced as a four-year old by Michaeli Byrne and Tadhg Kearney.
