THE Connaught Horse League headed to Headford Show, with the third round taking centre stage on Sunday. Despite the rainfall, it didn’t dampen the spirits of the senior and junior riders taking part.

Following a great show at Mullingar CSI2* where he was crowned leading young rider, Stephen Gibbons added another victory to his record, as he won the Derryronane Stud 1.35m Grand Prix. Riding Cassius Z, he was one of only three double clears in the eight-way jump-off in a time of 44.05.
