TIPPERARY’s European silver medallist Max Wachman stormed up the leaderboard in the FEI Jumping Ponies’ Trophy after winning the third leg at the five-star show in Stuttgart, Germany, last weekend.

Riding Coolmore Showjumping’s 13-year-old Irish Sport Horse mare Cuffesgrange Cavalidam (Luidam x Cavalier Royale), who won the very first running of the competition in 2017 under previous rider Seamus Hughes Kennedy, Wachman was one of 10 clears from 21 starters in the first round of the 1.35m class.
