Round three of the Horseware/TRM Premier Grand Prix League took place at Omagh Show in Co Tyrone last Saturday with a prize fund of €10,000, supported by the Silver Birch Hotel and Powers Whiskey.

The sun shone for the 38 starters who took on Paul Duffy’s track and in the end 12 combinations made it through to the jump-off. The going was good and the Omagh crowd got behind the riders, which made for a very entertaining jump-off. It was Clones-man Clem McMahon on the 10-year-old mare Unesca who snatched victory over Capt Geoff Curran on the stallion Mullaghbane. Unesca, a Danish-bred mare owned by Debbie Curley Hilton Sport Horses, is by Cassini II out of a Lancier mare.

A second day of good form saw Gerard Clarke and Horseware Ardragh Stein take third after their victory in the Horseware/ TRM National Grand Prix the day before and the Army Equitation School were again well represented in the placings with Capt Michael Kelly joining Capt Geoff Curran in the rosettes.

This show jumping series now moves to the other end of the country for Cork Summer Show this coming weekend.
