“IT goes without saying it’s an absolute honour to see all Dad [Gearóid] and the family’s hard work pay off! The family has been attending and participating in Clifden every year for over 50 years, winning their first supreme champion with Fort Doolin in 1981, owned by our grandfather Padraig Curran,” said a delighted Katie Curran after her Glencarrig Princess Katie was crowned the Horse Sport Ireland supreme champion at Clifden last Thursday.

Adding to the victory was the fact that the four-year-old’s sire Glencarrig Knight is owned by the Moycullen family too, making this a true home-bred success story.
