WE have been trying hard to have a chat with the jet-setting Kelley Hutchinson of Hutchinson Sport Horses over the past couple of weeks but to no avail – the time difference between Ireland and countries on the other side of the Atlantic not helping matters.

First up, we wanted to discuss the superb win of her good friend Caroline Pamukcu (née Martin) with HSH Connor two weeks ago in the CCI3*-L at Fair Hill in Maryland. There, the rider also landed the East Coast four-year-old championship on HSH Afterglow and was third in the five-year-old division with HSH Hooligan. No, didn’t happen.
