IT might have teemed rain at Badminton but nothing could dampen Jenny Glynn’s delight at watching her Banner-bred Capels Hollow Drift, with Tom Jackson aboard, finish fifth at this five-star event. The 2022 Burghley runner-up, by Shannondale Sarco out of the Lucky Gift-Sea Crest mare Lucky Crest, was also a Le Lion d’Anger silver medallist, earning Jenny a Horse Sport Ireland breeders award.

Accompanying the proud breeder on their first-time Badminton visit was friend and work colleague Bridgette Coghlan and the West Clare Horse Show secretary’s unforgettable weekend was rounded off by tickets to Bruce Springsteen on Tuesday night. Bridgette and her West Clare team made a presentation to Jenny at her local show, always held on the first Saturday in July, after Capel Hollows Drift top-20 result at his Badminton debut in 2022.
