Two of Dessie Gibson’s ex-charges made their mark at the National Hunter Show last weekend, when Vantage Point and Formula 1 won the ridden and young stock championships. Jill Day’s big winner, by Nash Me, added the supreme ridden title to his earlier hunter championship win with Robert Walker at the SHB (GB) national show, held at Stafford County Showgrounds. The Ars Vivendi-sired Formula 1 was shown once last year by Gibson as a two-year-old, before being sold before Dublin to his new winning owner Mrs RJ Stevenson.

The Clifden Connemara pony sale was topped by a 128cm jumping pony, Glenford Starlight. Bred and produced by the O’Callaghan family in Athenry, the pony – by Killea Island – fetched the top price of €6,300 and sold to a Northern buyer.
