IRELAND continues to show the rest of the world their equestrian talents, when alongside the fantastic successes at the FEI Jumping European Championships for Children, Juniors and Young Riders at Riesenbeck in Germany, the senior show jumpers finished on the podium at another five-star Nations Cup over the weekend, taking third place at Falsterbo in Sweden.

Nine teams lined up for the five-star 1.60m Nations Cup class at Falsterbo on Friday afternoon, with Sweden taking a home win with an overall score of just four faults. The USA placed second, equalling Ireland’s final score of eight faults, but in a slightly faster time, which left Ireland on the podium in third place.
