KILDARE’s Judy Reynolds was “thrilled” to recover from a tough test on Friday and finish 11th at the FEI Dressage World Cup Finals in Gothenburg last Saturday aboard Joe and Kathleen’s 17-year-old gelding Vancouver K.

Speaking to The Irish Field, the German-based rider, who scored 79.35% in the Freestyle to Music when fifth to go, said: “I thought he did a stunning test, a really good job. It was a little unfortunate that I was just early to go and there is no doubt if I went a little bit later on I would have gotten more marks.
