ENNISKERRY’s Alicia Devlin Byrne rounded off a superb week at the Clifden Connemara Pony Show by landing Friday’s high performance championship with her mother Claire’s Blackwood Fernando.
The Co Wicklow pairing won the first championship in 2011 and were second last year. The 17-year-old Ferdia gelding, who was bred near Tuam by Patrick McNamara out of a Mervyn Pookhaun mare, has a wonderful record at these showgrounds as he claimed the working hunter championship in 2011 and 2012 and has numerous flat wins to his credit here as well.
