ALEX Power finished best of the Irish, in 10th, at last week’s FEI European Eventing Championships for Juniors, this result coming on the back of wins at the Tattersalls and Kilguilkey House internationals.

However, sadly for Horse Sport Ireland’s chef d’equipe Debbie Byrne, the 18-year-old Kildare rider is now moving on to Young Riders – as are nearly half her squad – and she will be looking to the pony ranks for replacements.
