PRIMO Merona, a six-year-old Dutch-bred mare owned by Michael Hayden and ridden by Mark Cleary, won the six and seven-year-old HSI Development Series in Killossery Lodge Stud last Sunday afternoon.

By Grand Slam VDL, she is out of Verona H, by Matterhorn. Her sire Grand Slam is the all-time top scorer of the KWPN Stallion Test, and his sire Cardento won silver medals at the WEG, the European Championship and the Olympic Games.
