THE Irish camp at last week’s European eventing championships at Luhmühlen in Germany were delighted that Cathal Daniels won individual bronze but it was a matter of what might have been on the team front.

The quartet of Ciaran Glynn (November Night), Sarah Ennis (Horseware Woodcourt Garrison), Daniels (Rioghan Rua) and Sam Watson (Tullabeg Flamenco) were lying fifth after dressage (94.1), just four penalties behind Belgium (90.9) who were in third as Germany (68.9) finished the first phase well clear of Britain (85.7).
