IT’s hard to believe in this day and age, but little is known, or made known, about the breeding of most of the cobs who took over Ring 2 on the Friday afternoon of this year’s Dublin Horse Show, although some didn’t stay in long, being asked to leave quite quickly.

What we do know about Penny McClean’s champion, Penanns Lola May, who won the lightweight class, is that she is produced in Co Armagh by rider Katie Crozier and that the four-year-old dun mare, who is registered with Leisure Horse Ireland, is by a blue-eyed cream stallion out of an Irish Draught mare.
