ROBBIE Kearns should be very pleased with his weekend’s work, finishing in the top 10 at CCI5* Luhmühlen in Germany. One of just seven five-star eventing competitions world-wide, the Longines Luhmühlen Horse Trials attracts some of the best combinations in the sport.

The 2025 renewal saw 47 starters in the five-star class, with just 25 completing. There were three Irish competitors on the start list, with Kearns finishing best of these, securing a super top 10 finish with the 16-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Chance Encounter (TIH).
