Castlemagner competitors win on the international stage

Congratulation to Castlemagner man Shane Sweetnam (representing Ireland) and his horse Alejandro, who won the Douglas Elliman Real Estate five-star Grand Prix in the Winter Equestrian Festival in Florida.

Shane and Alejandro beat stiff competition last Saturday which saw Switzerland’s world number two Martin Fuchs (riding Clooney 51) take second place after a dramatic jump off. Wishing Shane continued success.

Well done to Michelle and wishing her every success.
