A FLAWLESS jumping performance at last weekend’s FEI Jumping European Championship for Ponies 2025 held in Le Mans, France, saw another individual gold medal go the way of Ireland - this time to Co Sligo’s 15-year-old Cian McMunn and just two days after the team had won the silver medal behind Britain.

Twenty-six combinations representing 10 nations came forward to contest the individual final which was run over two rounds with fences standing at 1.35m. Carrying forward their scores from the team competition, combinations had already faced three rounds of jumping over 1.30m tracks earlier in the week and started the individual final in reverse order of standings.
