YOUNG riders are certainly proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the TRM Spring Tour, as James Brennan rode to victory at Emerald last Sunday. Riding Sinead Brennan’s MHS Zenyatta, they lodged the winning clear round in 31.59 seconds.

Sponsored by Paul Curtis Show jumping and Paddy Connolly 4x4, a total of 28 combinations went to post and, from those, 18 delivered double clears in what was a 1.35m two-phase class.
