BETTER known on the show jumping circuit, Lauren Walsh was one of just eight riders who contested the last RDS 133cm working hunter pony qualifier at Barnadown on Wednesday.

The young Co Tipperary rider claimed the first ticket on board her mother Gillian’s 22-year-old 128cm Grade A gelding Castlequarter Jack (79 points) on whom she took over the ride from her brother James at the start of last season.
