COLOURED Horse champion here in 2024 and 2025 for Tara Hill, the Maura Walsh-ridden DTS First Flight had to settle for reserve this time around in the Targeted Worming Ireland-sponsored championship.

In this, as in the over 158cm class, the 10-year-old piebald mare was beaten by the 2023 winner of the class, Quidproquo, a 12-year-old piebald mare who is now ridden by Lisduff’s Olivia Connolly. North Cork’s Joanne Hanrahan topped the line-up in the up to 158cm class on her eight-year-old skewbald mare Maisy Lou.
