IRISH riders and horses were among the successes in Italy over the weekend, as Verona played host to a five-star World Cup Show, the highlight of which was the 1.60m Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Grand Prix on Sunday.

Forty starters lined out for the class, including Ireland’s Jessica Burke, Bertram Allen and Susan Fitzpatrick. Only seven combinations negotiated their way over the first-round course without penalty and only four managed to do so again in the jump-off.
