AUSTRALIAN Olympic silver medallist Kevin McNab and last year’s Badminton winner Caroline Powell are among an array of international riders due to line up for the third running of the Lisgarvan House International horse trials next weekend.

The antipodeans will spearhead a strong entry for the Co Carlow showcase, among which are riders from Britain, USA, Morocco and Sweden. In opposition, the home team looks notably strong as top riders Joseph Murphy, Ian Cassells, Cathal Daniels, Sian Coleman, Robbie Kearns, Michael Ryan, Patrick Whelan and Esib Power all hold multiple entries in the feature classes.
