BY any standards, 2014 was a rollercoaster year for international eventing. From an Irish perspective, the season produced an Olympic qualifying result at the World Equestrian Games, as well as a further haul of medals from our under-age teams. Irish bred winners of the early four-star fixtures at Rolex and Badminton set the year off in good style for breeders and producers and, influenced by the latter, the Irish Sport Horse studbook claimed yet another number one slot on the WBSFH rankings.
