THE 2024 National show jumping champion Patrick Hickey found the perfect end to a successful year, when he captured the win in Friday’s WKD 1.40m jump-off at the Cavan Winter Horse Festival.

Riding his championship mount Casago II, an 11-year-old stallion by Casall out of Hodrina (by Carthago), owned by his brother William, Hickey proved best of the 63 starters in the €3,000 class.
