SHANE McKenna, who won the Connolly’s Red Mills champion of champions ridden horse final at Barnadown last Sunday, had the perfect start to his day in the Main Grass Arena at the Wicklow Show.

The Co Kilkenny-based producer/rider landed the morning’s hunter championship on his mother Janet’s four-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Greenhall Top Shelf, a smart-looking chesnut who was having just his second start.
