CIARA Mullen doesn’t have far to travel to the Dublin Horse Show from her home in Malahide and, every year, she does her best to make sure at least some of the silverware remains in the capital.

Heading into last year’s show, she already had six Dublin titles to her name, earned over the previous decade, but she outdid herself last August, claiming a further three wins: Champion Connemara, Champion Ladies’ Side-Saddle and Champion Coloured Horse.
