GRAND Prix show jumper, event rider, national hunt pinhooker, point-to-point owner, sport horse producer and sale-topping vendor; all these mantles sit easily on the head of Co Wexford horseman Jason Higgins.

At just 28-years-old, Higgins has made his mark in all the above but is probably best known in the sport horse world, where as an owner/producer, he dominated the auction trade last year. He was not only responsible for the sale of the country’s overall sale-topper, but also consigned the highest priced lots from both the three and four-year-old sectors and had a big impact on the older divisions.
