IRISH-bred eventers were strongly represented in the $100,000 Land Rover Eventing Showcase at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Centre in Florida last weekend, where Welcome Shadow emerged victorious with USA rider Boyd Martin on board.

From a class of 39 entries, Martin and the 12-year-old mare by Welcome Flagmount completed a clear show jumping round and a great trip on the cross-country to finish on top of the podium, the third consecutive year Martin has done so.
