HAVING featured in the racing pages of last Saturday’s issue, Emma Jackson returns to the Irish Horse World section today, having won the J Facial Aesthetics supreme horse championship at last Saturday’s inaugural CHAPS NI/Ireland Easter Spring Show at Portmore Equestrian.

Jackson claimed the title on board the seven-year-old stallion Bannvalley Whisper (Gortfree Hero - Bannvalley Mandolin, by Moylough Bouncer), who she has qualified for the older Irish Draught performance final at Balmoral Show next month. At Portmore, the grey first won his 1m working hunter horse class, then the evening’s Glen Allen Homes working hunter horse championship before moving on to the supreme.
