BREAKING a 20-year hiatus, Kildare’s Judy Reynolds became the first Irish dressage rider in over two decades to break into the world’s top 30.

Bound for the Rio Olympics, Reynolds, who has smashed all the Irish records this year, including enjoying an eighth place finish in the FEI Reem Acra World Cup Final in Gothenburg recently with her 14-year-old Jazz gelding Vancouver K, rose 19 places to 28th.
