CO Clare’s Eoin McMahon was part of the silver medal-winning Irish team two years ago in Milan but was on the ground at the Longines FEI European Championships in A Coruña as a major part of the support system for his girlfriend and business partner Wilma Hellström.

Wilma was riding on the team for Sweden and was the sole Swede to make it through to Sunday’s individual final where she jumped her third clear round of the week and finished in 19th place individually with the wonderful one-eyed grey mare Cicci BJN.
