IT was an outstanding Dublin Horse Show week for the Ennisnag Stud team at Dublin: ESI Rocky jumped a double clear in the Aga Khan Nations Cup with Seamus Hughes Kennedy, Niamh McEvoy won the five-year-old championship with BP Othello, bred at Ennisnag and their Unicum-H won the six-year-old championship with stable jockey Shane Dalton.

“To see the happiness and excitement in his [father Andy] face and how much it meant to him, that’s what the win meant to me,” said his son Andrew, who credits much of his knowledge to growing up listening to his aunt Ita Brennan, his uncle Seamus Hughes, legendary Swiss dealer Max Hauri and of course his namesake father.
