THE Mid Antrims’ Christopher Smyth may have been presented with the horsemanship award for arena eventing at last weekend’s Barrier Animal Health Spring Festival at Castle Irvine, Necarne but he also competed in the show jumping section where he recorded an individual success.

This came in the nine-runner PC110 class where he recorded the faster of two double clears on the Irish Sport Horse mare Ballylurgan Hold Up (43.35secs), a 12-year-old home-bred bay by Hold Up Premier. East Antrim’s Erin McCrea finished second on another multi-discipline ride, Eisfee (45.26).
