Barnadown Equestrian Connolly's Red Mills Spring Tour
Amazing day at the Park for the team of young riders who competed in the Ballywater Farm Stallion's Connolly's RED MILLS Spring Tour yesterday at Barnadown Equestrian. (2/4/17)
In the blazing sun, 51 combinations took to the task of competing over a challenging course of fences built by resident senior course designer, John Doyle at Barnadown with 10 winning combinations gaining their place in the jump off round.
Local young rider, Patrick Hickey, on his mother Lucy's " Martini Van Overis Z" with a clear round in a time of 43.75, went into the lead with just Tour leader, Sven Hadley to jump. The crowd were silent while Sven jumped, wishing the local Wexford lad a home win, but enthralled by Sven's pitch perfect round on Hadley's Sporthorses Sumas Taloubet beating Patrick by just over 1 second.
Three young riders were placed in the line up, Patrick Hickey, Darragh Ryan and Jake Hunter and many more of our young riders just out of the jump off with 4 faults.
All looks well for our talented team of Young riders competing at Barnadown over the week end
