WHILE the bulk of the senior Irish riders have been competing on home turf, the enterprising team at River Lodge Eventing made a successful foray to the international fixture in Maarsbergen, Holland.

With qualifications to gain, Michelle Kenny and Rafael Sanctuary travelled with six horses, among which was the highly rated Poynstown Will. With Kenny in the saddle, the son of Ars Vivendi lived up to expectations to fill the runner up spot in the feature CCI2*, while her second ride Aspe completed in 10th spot.
