ANNE Varley and Caherduff Navigator clinched one of the most prestigious titles of the year, when they topped the £1000 to the winner Blue Chip and Irish Draught Horse Society challenge at the IDHS breed show held at Lincoln.

Simon Slann bought his cracking grey gelding from Mayo breeder Tim Clesham five-years-ago and although the son of Sir Rivie was actually an impulse buy on Simon’s 40th birthday celebrated in Ireland, Navigator has proved ultra versatile for the Slann family.
