FOREIGN riders filled the first eight places in the Connolly’s Red Mills CCI4*-S at last week’s inaugural Lisgarvan House International with now regular British visitor Kirsty Chabert claiming the honours on Classic VI.

Since May 2022, the Anglo European Studbook-registered mare has made five starts in CCI4*-S classes in Ireland and she has now won three times, filling the runner-up position on the other two occasions. By Calvaro Z, the 14-year-old Classic VI, who has had a foal by embryo transfer (a now two-year-old filly by Fleetwater Opposition), was bred by Peter Charles out of India Summer who jumped up to Grand Prix level.
