Congratulations to local lady Aisling Dwan (aged 17), from Ballyreddin Stud, Bennettsbridge, who scooped the top prize at a National Working Hunter Show, last weekend.
Aisling competed at the Northern Ireland Festival at Cavan International Equestrian Centre last weekend, riding her 11 year old horse 'Lackelly Star' - and won Champion of the Festival 1m Working Hunter Horse and Reserve Supreme Champion of Working Hunter Horse.
She was one of two Kilkenny horsewomen who claimed outstanding achievements at the event, along with 11 year-old Aoife Brennan, from Ballyfoyle.
This was Aisling's first time competing her horse 'Lackelly Star' at a National Working Hunter Show. Aisling's began showing horses in 2022 where she produced their home-bred and retired 2017 Aintree Grand National winner 'One For Arthur' to successfully compete in 'Racehorse to Riding' classes at shows throughout Ireland. Aisling is a 5th year student at Presentation School, Kilkenny.
