Champion sold

SLIGO show jumper Richard Howley has sold his five-year-old world champion Uppercourt Cappucino to Stal Tops, the stable operated by Global Champions Tour owner Jan Tops and his wife, international show jumper Edwina Tops-Alexander. The Pacino-sired gelding, who was bred by the late Galway man Paul O’Byrne, came out top of the world at the FEI World Breeding Championships for Young Horses in Lanaken in September.
