SPECIAL mention must be made of Armagh’s Lauren O’Rourke, who stood reserve supreme champion twice on Saturday night at the Northern Ireland Festival, with her mother Sarah’s Welsh Section B gelding, Pine View Remeo.

Nine-year-old Lauren and the six-year-old Barrera Duke Of Windsor grey were first beckoned into that spot in the mini novice champion of champions supreme championship and then in the novice supreme championship, which was open to horses and ponies.
