Producing and selling young horses takes much time and patience, but it all paid off for Ger O'Neill at the recent FEI World Breeding Jumping Championships in Lanaken, Belgium as he lifted Ireland's third ever gold medal at these finals with the six-year-old Irish Sport Horse Killossery Kaiden.

This capped off a wonderful weekend as 16-year-old Mikey Pender also claimed silver and bronze in the year-younger equivalent with Z Seven Caretina and Z Seven Canya Dance.
