LANAKEN once again proved a happy hunting ground for Irish horses and riders, as the country’s talented equine athletes secured two gold medals (out of the three on offer), as well as one silver and one bronze at the Belgian showcase.

The 30th annual FEI World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) Jumping World Breeding Championship for Young Horses attracts the cream of equine competitors from around the globe and this year’s renewal took place from September 24th to 28th. The competition included a Belgian Championship.
