NIAMH McEvoy capped an extraordinary summer season in style when crowned Irish national show jumping champion at the Irish Breeders’ Classic last Saturday. The young rider dominated the Plusvital Premier Series, remarkably winning all but one of the seven rounds. She won the first round with Rock Warrior, the third and fourth leg with Flora Du Mesnil, and the second, penultimate and final leg with Olympic GL FVD.

“It has been a great year and what a way to top it off,” McEvoy said after her final victory.
