THE Kenny sisters, Abi and Brooke, who were already qualified for the pony working hunter section of the Gallagher Dublin Horse Show, bagged tickets for the Connemara performance hunter finals on the same two Silver Shadow-sired geldings at Forth Mountain last Saturday.

On Saturday, 17-year-old Abi won Section A of the eight to 15-year-old class on board the 2018 gelding Hogan The Brave (Silver Shadow - Ocean Annilaun Evette, by Grange Merlin Surf), who was purchased from his Co Wicklow breeder Avril Hobson as a four-year-old. “While this will be the fourth year in a row that Abi and Hogan compete at Dublin,” said the rider’s father Graham, “it’s the first time they have even tried to qualify for the Connemara performance.”
