CARLOW event rider Sam Watson has moved up to seventh place in the FEI world eventing rankings, the highest ranked Irish eventing rider in history, while there are three other Irish inside the top 30. Britain’s Ros Canter has become the first female world number one since 2012 following her individual gold medal at last September’s World Equestrian Games in Tryon, North Carolina, and a third-place finish at last year’s Badminton aboard Allstar B. Canter is currently expecting her first child.
