In need of some inspiration to blow away the Christmas cobwebs?
Take a ride around the Open Intermediate at Kelsall Hill (2) in Cheshire where the World Number One rode Ridire Dorcha, a horse owned by UK-Based Australian rider Sophie Adams and won the class
It's never surprising when Oliver wins, but it is always impressive when a rider can hop on a horse he hasn't ridden for a while and secure a win.
Oliver knows the horse well, having competed him for several years before Sophie took over the reins, and, as further testament to the man’s skills, he then took Ridire Dorche to Les Etoiles de Pau where they finished sixth at the horse's first CCI5*
“I’m so proud of Limerick (Ridire Dorcha) for showing the world what a special horse he is, and so grateful to Oliver for allowing him the chance to do so” said Sophie
