IRISH riders may have been absent from the Morocco Royal Tour this year but one Irish owner was Carol Gee of Fernhill Sport Horses who attended the four-star show in Rabat where her two horses - Fernhill Holly Chai (Chai D xQuinta da Hermida) and Dourados 2 (Diarado x Cornet Obolensky) – were ridden by Portugal’s Duarte Seabra.

Carol also had horses which she sold competing in the five-star Maryland Horse Trials in the USA the same week and was watching on video as she was on hand to assist Seabra, her long time show jumping rider.
