IRELAND’s teenage show jumping sensation Bertram Allen flew home to Ireland yesterday (Monday) to collect his prize at the prestigious The Irish Field Awards at the K Club in Straffan, Co Kildare.

The 19-year-old rider was fresh from winning his second World Cup qualifier Grand Prix in Bordeaux, France on Saturday night and propelling himself to the top of the Western European league table. Riding the stallion Romanov, he beat seven former world number riders including his own mentor Marcus Ehning.
