Paul Beecher and Loughnatousa Buachail (ISH) take DAFM Studbook opening round victory in Tipperary

The first round of the 2024 DAFM Studbook Show Jumping Series kicked off today (Saturday) at Tipperary Equestrian Centre, with a talented group of young horses competing across three competitions for 5, 6, and 7-year olds.

The 7-year-old competition was dominated by Waterford’s Paul Beecher, who filled first and third places following a 12-horse jump-off. The Tallow native raced to victory with Loughnatousa Buachail (ISH), bred by the late Dr Noel Cawley, after crossing the line clear in 24.78 seconds.

Paul Beecher explained how it was a special to win with Loughnatousa Buachail (ISH)

“I am delighted to win on this horse today as brother my Tadhg produced him and he is owned by my father Tim. The horse I was third on today is very competitive so to win with Loughnatousa Buachail (ISH) is very special.”

Kilkenny’s Eddie Moloney finished as runner-up with Cornascriebe Emerald (ISH) with a clear in 25.03, while Paul Beecher also filled third spot with Brogagh Darcy (ISH) in 25.09. The very competitive 7-year-old class saw no less than 15 double clear rounds, including Kilkenny’s Molly Hughes Bravo who finished fourth with HHS Mercedes (ISH). Waterford’s Tony O’Donohue guided I Herbies Luidam (WSI) to a fifth place finish, just ahead of Robert Splaine in sixth aboard Coolcorron Lone Ranger (ISH).

The action at Tipperary Equestrian Centre got underway with the DAFM Studbook Series for 5-year-olds which saw the competition divided between 23 double clear rounds. The six-year-old DAFM Studbook Series was equally as competitive with 26 double clears sharing first place.

Tipperary Equestrian Centre is run by Thomas and Fiona Ryan and their family and speaking afterwards, Thomas was delighted with how the day ran overall.

“It was a great day, it ran-off very well with some great jumping for 5, 6 and 7-year-old horses. The riders all seemed happy and everything ran on time. We started jumping at 8.30am on the button, so I want to thank all of the riders for their cooperation with that. We were lucky with the weather thankfully just one shower and that was it. I also want to thank DAFM for their sponsorship of the competitions.”

The next round of the DAFM Studbook Show Jumping series will take place at The Meadows Equestrian Centre in Lurgan, Co Armagh on April 27th & 28th.
