The former, which was allocated as a final pony team trial, was well won by Emma Kennedy riding the nine-year-old Connemara pony Laburnam Ineer. Winners at Lisgarvan this season, and fifth at Tattersalls, the Athlone pair had already secured their place on this year’s squad, which has now been announced in full.

Filling second spot after dressage, 16-year-old Kennedy stood out in Saturday’s show jumping phase and progressed to complete on her dressage mark of 46.2. It was her uncle Aidan who sourced the son of Coosheen Storm Boy from Jill O’Gorman in Co Waterford and this is their first season at the level.
