YOUNG rider Shane Dalton is enjoying a fine run of form since relocating from the rebel county to take up a riding job at Gabriel Slattery’s Castlelawn Stud in Irishtown, Co Mayo. The 19-year-old Clonakilty native landed his first senior Grand Prix win last Sunday at Headford Gymkhana aboard Belfields Captain, who he has also qualified for the Dublin Horse Show.
Not content with his Grand Prix win, Dalton then went on to win the puissance on John Lee’s wall-jumping specialist, The Captain’s Touch, jumping 1.95m and also taking third on Chimay.
