Home and away

US-based Irish rider Hilda Donohue has ridden all over the world in eventing, dressage and endurance, but she was thrilled to return home to compete in the hunter rings last week. “It was through a friend of a friend that I was introduced to Aubrey Chapman and he told me he had a lovely horse I could ride at the show,” she commented. “I last rode here probably 35 years ago, so it was lovely to be back to Dublin. My mum still lives here.”
