AFTER much anticipation, the FEI World Cup™ Finals were held at Fort Worth over the weekend, with the cream of international show jumping horses and riders making their way to Texas to participate, including two Irish representatives - Galway’s Jessica Burke and Derry’s Daniel Coyle. Dressage competitors also battled it out at the venue over the weekend.

It was a home win for American rider Kent Farrington, who rode his two talented mares, Toulayna and Greya, to win the first two classes, putting vital points on the leaderboard and meaning that he could not be caught.
