Three in a row for P.J’s Delight

The Horse Sport Ireland sponsored ‘All Ireland 50:50 Mare and Foal Championship’ at Ballyvourney Show was won by PJ Lehane with his Irish Sport Horse mare PJS Delight, this mare is by Lux Z (HANN) out of PJs Hope (ISH). The filly foal is out of PJs Delight (ISH) and by Munther (TB).

This is PJ’s third win this summer, winning classes in Clonakilty Show, Barryroe Show and Ballyvourney Show. PJ said ‘I am absolutely thrilled and shocked, its so unusual to have 3 wins in a row but I’m so impressed with my foal this year that I think she deserves it. Its great to see the judges being so consistent through each competition. When picking Munter as a stallion I thought he would really suit my Lux Z mare and I was so impressed with this foal that I have returned to him again this year and she is now scanned in foal again.’
