THIS time last year, Co Wexford’s Maisie Adams spent 11 days in intensive care – having suffered lacerations to her spleen following a kick from a horse – while her just broken pony, Ravara Mohawk, was turned out in the field, awaiting her recovery.

Last Sunday at Cavan, the pair showed just how well they have gelled in the interim as they qualified for the 128cms championship at the Dublin Horse Show with the third of just three treble clears.
