CONOR Swail’s Lansdowne returned to FEI competition last weekend when finishing second in the $40,000 Groupby Grand Prix at CSI** Rockwood, Canada with a double clear round in 35.00 seconds.

Owned by Sue and Ariel Grange, the 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood stallion by Guidam has won a number of top-drawer classes in the past, including the Canadian World Cup Grand Prix in 2013. That year he was named the Horse of the Year in Ireland and the fifth best horse in the world.
