Tryon Grand Prix

THERE were three Irish riders in the top 10 in last Saturday night’s three-star $137,000 EquiSafe Global Grand Prix at Tryon International Equestrian Centre in North Carolina, USA. Some 10 combinations made it through to the jump-off where USA’s Kent Farrington posted the winning round with Kaprice. Shane Sweetnam was best of the Irish in fourth place aboard his own and Spy Coast Farm’s Chaqui Z, clear against the clock in 40.85 seconds.
