AMONG those who recorded a double at the recent Tattersalls July Show was Stamullen’s Louise Duffy who won the qualifier for the Irish Horse Welfare Trust Thoroughbred Club working hunter series on a lovely Saturday morning and the final, in heavy rain, the following afternoon.

Her partner was the 14-year-old French-bred gelding Arvika Ligeonniere who won 10 races when trained by Willie Mullins, including four at Grade 1 level. As well as posting numerous successes in the show ring since retiring at the end of the 2013/14 National Hunt season, Arvika Ligeonniere has adapted well to his career as an event horse.
