WELL-known equine artist Nadina Ironia realised a long-held dream this week - to exhibit her work at the famous French trotting venue, the Vincennes Hippodrome in Paris.

A regular face on the trotting circuit in Ireland, some months ago Latvian-born Nadina was invited to display some of her finest works during the world-renowned Prix d’Amérique and Prix de Cornulier festivals.
