IRELAND’s Clare Abbott partnered a winner on both of her appearances at Millstreet in 2021 and last weekend kept up her good strike rate when she landed the Foran Equine CCI3*-S on DHI No Fear, her only ride at the June international horse trials.

The ground jury for this 42-runner class comprised Portugal’s Anibal Marianito (C) and Ireland’s Joan Ahern (B) who had Abbott and Sarah Riley’s Holstein gelding sharing third place after dressage with New Zealand’s Tim Prince on Polystar I (30.5). At this stage, the lead was held by Ireland’s Adam Haugh on Van Thee Man (29.7) with his compatriot, Ian Cassells, next best on Rosconnell Alto (30.4).
