NICOLE Kershaw captured the first international win at CSI2* Millstreet International Horse Show for Britain when she rode Lisa Rosbotham’s mare Novellent (Valent x Zeoliet), bred by Linzi Johnston, to the top spot in the 71-rider strong 1.20m jump-off class on Thursday.

Some 24 combinations produced a double clear round, with Kershaw the quickest of these in the only sub-30 time of 29.99 for the victory. Eoghan Fahy, riding his own mare HHS Caprese (Capri van Overis Z x Cavalier Royale), bred by Miguel Bravo, slotted into the runner-up position in 30.72.
