THE Irish sport horse world lost one of its top breeders with the death of Ita Brennan of Mill House Stud, Gowran, Co Kilkenny, on Thursday.

Among the many good horses she bred during her lifetime, Mrs Brennan bred the Aga Khan winning horse, MHS Going Global (ISH), ridden by Greg Broderick. Ita (nee Hughes) passed away peacefully at her home. Her funeral Mass takes place at 12 noon today (Saturday) at the Holy Trinity Church in Goresbridge with burial afterwards in the adjoining cemetery. A full obituary will appear in a future issue.
