CORK rider Shane Dalton put his first win on the board in the TRM Showjumpers Club Spring Tour last Sunday at Tipperary Equestrian. Riding Alexander Hamilton’s Zavy Echo, he was the fastest of 16 double clears in the two-phase class. The combination put in a blistering round, coming home in a time of 28.55 seconds to take the winner’s share of the €3,000 on offer. This is the second time that the pairing have featured in the line-up, taking sixth in the round in Maryville.

Bred by his owner, Zavy Echo is a nine-year-old gelding by Zavatar F and out of the Clover Echo-sired dam, Taylor Echo.
