IRISH riders made their presence felt at South View’s recent development classic show, as Suzanne Posnett, Mennell Watson and Dean Wilson accounted for six wins over the three days. Despite getting the ride on Callumbus just two days before the show, Dean Wilson claimed two early victories with the Cassini II nine-year-old.

“After doing some local show jumping with his owner Darcey Wilkinson, he was sent in to us to be sold. He is a very forward horse who turns easily and we had to be pretty handy everywhere to stand any chance of winning a ribbon,” said Wilson, whose first victory came courtesy of a very acute tight turn-back to the final vertical where Callumbus neatly picked up off barely one stride.
