THE Irish Sport Horse Flexible once again showed no sign that he is approaching his 20th birthday, winning the Longines FEI World Cup, North American qualifier at Langley in British Columbia last Sunday.

Ridden as ever by 2012 Olympian Rich Fellers, the chesnut stallion, bred by Catherine and Edward Doyle from Co Kildare, was one of just two double clear rounds over the Alan Wade designed course and finished over a second clear of runner-up Will Simpson riding The Dude.
