A NEW combination on the young event horse scene came to the fore during week three of the Stepping Stones to Success League at Wexford Equestrian on Wednesday when Grantstown Trendy won the Childéric Saddles four-year-old qualifier.

Recording one of only three clear rounds in the 12-runner class, the Future Trends gelding was ridden by Swedish-born Mathilda Kiviniemi for owner/breeder Caroline Widger whose niece, Jesse, dominated Wednesday’s event pony class with three rides running under the same prefix.
