HEIDI Hamilton had just the one ride at last weekend’s Eventing Ireland national championships in Barnadown, Anne Kirwan’s home-bred Mount Atlas who she partnered to an all-the-way success in the Agria EI90 national championship.

Seven of the eight starters completed on the combined dressage score they were awarded by Bernie Webb and Lynne Cassidy. Hamilton and the eight-year-old Mount Atlas did so on 28.3 penalties ahead of Poppy McMurray and the 16-year-old skewbald gelding Finding Nemo (32.1) and Ciara Kelly with Cousin Joe (34.9), a six-year-old gelding by Kingstown Cavalier.
