CONGRATULATIONS to show jumpers Mark McAuley and his Swedish wife Charlotte Mordasini who welcomed baby Viggo to the world last week. Despite Charlotte giving birth, McAuley jumped at the five-star show in Bordeaux, France, last weekend, and rightly so as he won Sunday’s Accumulator class with his wife’s gelding Valentino Tuilière when first to go.

However, McAuley had already boarded a flight home before the prize giving and his teammate Bertram Allen slotted in for him in the prize giving.
