THE Irish youth show jumping teams enjoyed great success at the FEI Jumping Youth Nations Cup final, held at Peelbergen Equestrian Centre at Kronenberg in Netherlands last week, with three of the four teams (and numerous individuals) finishing on the podium - despite persistent rain.

The best team result came from the pony squad of Jack Dore (K-Little Hero); Robbie Sheehan (Daytona); Ella Rush (Galaxy V) and Charlie Flynn (HK Zena), along with Ted Fagan (Ballyfore Rosie), who won their final on Sunday with the only zero score. The Junior and Young Riders teams each came third in their finals and, with a multitude of brilliant individual results, the future is looking very bright for Irish show jumping!
