FRESH from her fourth place in the Longines Grand Prix of Ireland at Dublin Horse Show with the home-produced Fellow Castlefield, Kilkenny’s Susan Fitzpatrick has been selected by luxury Italian clothing brand Vestrum as an ambassador, both in and out of the saddle.

“I am delighted to be working with such a luxury brand that is so comfortable to ride in yet has such advanced technical fabrics and designs. I first discovered them in Portugal so was thrilled when they approached me about working with them – although I am far more comfortable on a horse in the clothing than in front of the camera,” joked Susan. Fellow Castlefield has since been sold to Greece’s Athina Onassis.
