Darragh Kenny and Chaccossini Dominate WEF CSI3* 1.50m Classic

Offaly’s Darragh Kenny has wasted no time getting to know Chaccossini. The pair scored their second FEI victory on Sunday in just their third show together, topping the $32,000 Hermès CSI3* 1.50m Classic to close week one of the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) in Florida.

“Straight away we clicked,” he said about their partnership, having taken over the ride from Martin Fuchs (SUI). “Our first show we won a ranking show already, second show I took him to London – he was clear in a 1.55m and won a big 1.50m class – and this is my third show with him. He’s a cool horse. He’s unbelievably fun and competitive. He also has this huge stride which makes him fast against the clock.”
