LIMERICK-born Shane Carey was in action at the two-star show at Scherwin in Germany last weekend and he scored a superb win and a third place finish in a productive week for the Irishman.

Carey’s victory came in last Saturday’s 1.45m jump-off class, where he beat off 57 fellow competitors with the stallion Contenance 15, a 10-year-old by Cornet Obolensky out of a Darco dam.
