THE Horse Sport Ireland sponsored ‘All Ireland 50:50 Mare and Foal Championship’ at Ballyvourney Show was won by PJ Lehane with his Irish Sport Horse mare PJS Delight, by Lux Z (HANN) out of PJs Hope (ISH). Her filly foal is out of PJs Delight (ISH) and by Munter (TB).

This was PJ Lehane's third win this summer, winning classes at Clonakilty, Barryroe and Ballyvourney show.

PJ Lehane said: "I am absolutely thrilled and shocked, it's so unusual to have three wins in a row but I’m so impressed with my foal this year that I think she deserves it. It's great to see the judges being so consistent through each competition. When picking Munther as a stallion I thought he would really suit my Lux Z mare and I was so impressed with this foal that I have returned to him again this year and she is now scanned in foal again."
