IRISH riders featured heavily in the prizes at the two-star Mediterranean Equestrian Tour at Oliva in Spain last weekend, not least in last Sunday’s feature Grand Prix which was won by Gavin Harley.

The 19-year-old from Letterkenny, Co Donegal, scooped the €30,000 1.45m contest after he produced a blistering jump-off round with Understone VD Kapel. A massive 17 horses and riders went clear in the opening round, with 10 of those managing to go clear again against the clock.
