IT was a first international success for Ireland’s Godfrey Gibbons, as he piloted Ballyvillane OBOS (ISH) to victory in the NutriScience Equine CCI3*-L class for owner Richard Ames.

This combination was awarded a dressage score of 28.8 penalties by Marie Hennessy (IRL) and Faith Ponsonby (IRL), and jumped a double clear to remain on that score at the end of the
competition.
