MARGARET and Des Jeffares were devastated to lose their multiple Dublin Horse Show-winning mare Ballykelly Notalot after a short illness last week. The 11-year-old mare by Lancelot out of a Cavalier Royale mare, bred by James Thomas Wallace, won in Dublin as a yearling, two-year-old and three-year-old and was champion young horse in 2015 for Rebecca Monahan.

Among a slew of other show titles, she was also the All Ireland final winner at Bannow & Rathangan in 2015 before, as a four-year-old, she made her debut under saddle by winning the Stepping Stones to Success Eventing league.
