THE Pegus Leinster Summer Tour moved to Barnadown in Co Wexford last weekend, where Co Kilkenny riders filled the top two places after a thrilling close-fought competition.

At the finish it was Michael Hutchinson who came out on top with Team Z7’s gelding Laith. The 25-year-old rider had shared top honours in the Puissance at the RDS in 2014 where he cleared 7ft 3inches with Acorad 3 and has spent much of his time since jumping in the hotter temperatures of the Middle East.
