IRISH-bred event horses got a ‘money can’t buy this sort of advertising’ boost with recent results from the Land Rover Kentucky and Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horses trials. No less than 40% of the top-10 horses at both four-star events were bred here, including the Kentucky winner Cooley Master Class and Badminton runner-up Cooley SRS, both by Ramiro B, both ridden by Oliver Townend and sourced by Cooley Horses’ Richard Sheane.
