TABITHA Kyle, a member of this year’s Junior Nations Cup-winning team in Hagen, Germany and subsequently selected for the FEI Junior European Championships, her first in the green jacket of Ireland, rode her father Mark’s Belgian-bred mare Ottani Z (Otterongo Alpha Z x Lord Z) to win the five-year-old Dublin Horse Show qualifier at Mullingar EC on Wednesday.

With 12 places on offer, the 96 starters had an early start with three rounds, the last one against the clock. Thirty-six combinations managed to stay fault-free in round one, 18 of these left all the poles in place through the second round to progress to the timed decider.
