FORMER Irish army Commanding Officer and show jumper Col Billy Ringrose (89) sadly passed away on Wednesday at Belmont House Care Home in Dublin. One of Ireland’s most successful show jumping riders of the 1950-1960s, he was a member of the first mixed Army-civilian Irish team to win the Aga Khan trophy in 1963 alongside Diana Conolly-Carew, Seamus Hayes and Tommy Wade, and was also on the 1967 winning team once.
