THE highlight of the horse showing programme at last week’s Royal Windsor Horse Show from an Irish breeding perspective was the win in Friday morning’s hunter championship in the Castle Arena of Mulberry Lane II.

Ridden and produced by Craig Kiddier for Susan Tenant and winner earlier in the day of his middleweight class, the versatile 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding was adding to a lengthy list of titles he has accumulated in ridden and working hunter championships at major shows throughout Britain. He also show jumps at 1.30m level and hunts during the winter.
