THERE was great support from the local thoroughbred community for the inaugural Clonmahon House one-day event which was staged by the McNally family of Summerhill, Co Meath, last Saturday, as among the class sponsors were Castlebridge Stud, Lynn Lodge Stud and Oak Tree Farm.

The EI115 was sponsored by The Underwriting Exchange, sponsor also of the Irish senior show jumping team. Stephen O’Connor of TUE was delayed coming in from England as otherwise he would have arranged for the company’s fence to be included in the show jumping phase.
