CO Clare’s Eoin McMahon made an excellent start to the 2022/2023 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup season, scoring a podium place finish in Sunday’s opening round of the series in Oslo, Norway.

Riding Ludger Beerbaum’s 12-year-old mare Chakra, McMahon was one of 11 combinations from a strong start list of 38 to make it into the jump-off after a clear first round. Drawn first to go in the jump-off, McMahon posted an impressive clear in 46.13 seconds against the clock, which would eventually be good enough for third place and almost €29,000 in prize money.
