HAVING shown Bloomfield Watergate to victory in the youngstock and home-bred championships at the Dublin Horse Show for producer Jane Bradbury and owner/breeder Daphne Tierney, Michael Lyons will be on the other side of the divide next week.

Birdhill-based Lyons has been invited to judge at the British Show Horse Association’s National Championship Show at Arena UK, Grantham where a massive programme of ridden, in-hand and working hunter classes gets under way at 8am on Thursday and runs through to late on Saturday evening.
