The 2024 Mervue Equine Leinster Summer Tour concluded in style at Mullingar Equestrian Centre on Friday, 9th August, with a thrilling 1.35m final that saw Sven Hadley and Phenomene Bleu VDM take top honours for the 1.35m.

Hot on his heels was rising star Harry Wood aboard BP Rocket Man, who secured second place in the final but did enough over the league to be crowned the overall league winner alongside BP Lion Man — a testament to his consistency and form throughout the summer.

In the individual categories, Jack Murphy was named Leading Young Rider, continuing to impress with his strong performances across multiple rounds. The Pro-Am title went to Kerrie Curtis, recognising her dedication and competitive spirit in this fast-growing division.
