A FREAK accident in a horse walker sadly claimed the life of talented sport horse RD Powerplay, campaigned and owned by Kildare young rider Mikaela Weld.
The eight-year-mare by Cavalier Royale was out of the thoroughbred Uptown (Be My Guest), raced by Mikaela’s parents John and Michelle. Known as ‘Posh’, and broken-in by Mikaela’s brother Charles, RD Powerplay had her first show outing in 2017. Trained by Paddy Quinlan, the duo successfully campaigned in the 2018 RDS young rider qualifiers.
