FOLLOWING a successful career under the command of Paddy O’Donnell, the 11-year-old Ars Vivendi -sired gelding Swingtime has been sold to buyers in America.

Jointly owned by Paddy and Maria, the horse holds good memories for the newly weds as he was the first horse they bought together. Swingtime was bought by the couple in 2015 and has graduated from the 1.10m ranks up to 1.50m.
