Gallagher third in Tryon

NEWRY show jumper Lorcan Gallagher finished third in the $137,000 Horseware Ireland Grand Prix at Tryon International Equestrian Centre. Gallagher, who has just recently taken over the ride on Heathman Farm’s 13-year-old VDL Cartello (Cartani x Lord) from Cormac Hanley, had the fastest time in the seven-horse jump-off but faulted once to finish third. Victory went to USA’s Nicole Shahinian-Simpson and Akuna Mattata.
