Now Knockillaire Tomás Ices the Cake at DHS
After Ballyowen Maybelle Molly’s shining victory in Europe, a past pony of Ashbrook has flung down a gauntlet of its own at the Dublin Horse Show where Knockillaire Tomás (S-1138) claimed premier status as a Registered Connemara Stallion, and as Reserve Champion in the in-hand class.
The show has been taking place at the RDS showgrounds since Wednesday. We have included the relevant (i.e. to Connemara’s) results from Wednesday, but a full listing can be found under Class/Competition Results at www. dublinhorseshow. ie.
For brevity, we have omitted the competitors showing numbers, but they are included in the original results from the Dublin Horse Show site. The results document also switches from using the phrase ‘Class no:…’ to the phrase ‘Cup no:…’ midway through, and, while this is most likely an insignificant error, we have replicated it here for ease of comparison.
