THE Killinick Bouncer gelding Kontiki is a very rare animal as he started his visit to Dublin with a fourth-place finish in his performance Irish Draught class on the Wednesday and closed it out by winning the Bucas working hunter pony championship on the Saturday.

Both of these classes took place in Ring 2 where the 11-year-old was ridden by Charlotte Harding. However, if you see him competing at Dressage Ireland-affiliated shows, particularly in the Northern Region, chances are that he will be partnered by his Co Antrim owner, Penny Murphy.
