IT would take a lot to lure Dromore veterinary surgeon Callie Berry away from home and her practice during the breeding season but daughter Susie’s debut in the Defender Kentucky three-day event in Lexington is one occasion Callie could not miss.

England-based Susie is riding the 12-year-old Irish Sport Horse mare Clever Trick in whom she shares ownership with Anne Marling and Sue Wilkinson and with whom she was on the fourth-placed Irish team in last August’s European eventing championships in France.
