A SUPER performance from Irish eventing rider Susie Berry has seen her take third place on the podium in the CCI4*-L at the prestigious Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials in the UK.

Riding the 10-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding John The Bull, Northampton-based Berry, who was the only Irish rider in a competition that attracted 90 competitors, scored an excellent 27.9 in Friday's opening dressage phase. This was followed by a perfect clear inside the time in Saturday's cross-country and another flawless performance in Sunday's final show jumping as the Irish rider completed the tough Blenheim competition on her dressage score.
