IT has been a sad end to April for the Mullen/Donnelly families following the death last Thursday of their great working hunter Majestic Gold, better known as Fattie.

The 1998 grey was owned by Co Meath’s Paddy Mullen whose daughter, Toni Donnelly, partnered the mare to qualify for the Horse Of Year show in 2004, 2005 and 2006. They were placed at Balmoral and in the RDS and won numerous working hunter championships throughout the country.
