IT was announced this afternoon by Horse Sport Ireland that Gerry Mullins is back on board as chairman of High Performance for Ireland's senior show jumpers.

Reacting to the news that Mullins has been reinstated as HP chairman, chef d’equipe Rodrigo Pessoa told The Irish Field: “I’m glad the situation got resolved and we are back to work with not a minute to spare. The big goal this year is (the World Equestrian Games) in Tryon.”
