EIGHTEEN-year-old Jack Ryan scored yet another impressive win in the UAE last weekend. The Kilkenny show jumper galloped to victory in a 1.45m world ranking class at the three-star show in Sharjah.

Riding the 12-year-old stallion Diesel, Ryan was among 13 clear rounds to make it through to the jump-off in the feature of the day. A second clear round in 38.56 seconds saw him break the beam almost two seconds faster than Germany’s David Will (Caramba 92) to earn €6,350.
