WILLIAM McMahon’s winner of the Dublin Horse Show four-year-old heavyweight class, Tulcan Hero, has been sold to The Netherlands and his lucky new owner was able to watch him win in Ring 2 on Friday morning.

“We have sold a lot of horses to Holland and we have some great relationships there, in particular with agent Max Schep who was following Hero for a while,” McMahon explained. “He wanted a special horse for a special client, John van den Veen, and he bought him after he won at Balmoral. He was here to see him perform at Dublin which was very special and Hero is going to an amazing home so we are very happy.
