The four-year-old championship took place in Balmoral yesterday, the 11^th of July 2021.

Bred and owned by Hallsmill Stables, Hallsmill Aga Quix (ISH), is a gelding by Aganix Du Seigneur (SBS) out of Quibelle De La Vie Z (ZANG) by Quick Star (SF).

Following the winning round Angela Waras said ‘I had a fantastic weekend competing at national Balmoral. All of my horses gained great experience and picked up some nice results in both the Irish Sport Horse Studbook Series and the 4 Year Old championship. A special mention must go to the team behind the scenes who work tirelessly to have the arenas in top class condition and of course Klaus for the well designed courses. I am thrilled to take the win in the 4yr old championship on my own homebred Hallsmill Aga Quix (ISH) and I am excited to see what the future holds for him. Many thanks to HSI for their generous sponsorship of this class, it makes it extra special to have also bred this winner and for HSI to acknowledge this with the breeders prize fund.’
