THE Tokyo Olympics may be postponed to next year but the achievement of the High Performance programme in getting three Irish equestrian teams qualified for the Olympics for the first time ever deserves recognition.

“Our High Performance programme is fantastic – to have three equestrian teams qualified for the Olympics, we were one of just eight countries in the world to do that. Countries like the UK, USA, Sweden, France, Germany – to be in that club is pretty good for Ireland,” said CEO of HSI Ronan Murphy.
