PAULINE Dahill’s journey north from Co Waterford paid dividends last Saturday as she bagged two qualifying tickets for the five to seven-year-old Connemara performance hunter championship at the Dublin Horse Show, winning on one of the two ponies and placing second on the other.

Dahill’s winner at the Stevenson family’s Co Antrim venue Tullylish was actually a joint-winner as, on 240.5 points, she and William Griffin’s 2020 Ross Fear Bui gelding Hogan’s Charm had to share the honours in Section A with the busy Ciara O’Connor on board Fiona Gahan’s Firbolg Dun, a six-year-old Kippure Columbus gelding.
