IRELAND’S European medallist Shane Sweetnam enjoyed a great run of success over the weekend in the Split Rock Jumping Tour at the Kentucky Horse Park coming home with first and second in the $50,000 FEI Welcome CSI3* 1.45m on Friday and second in the $110,000 1.50m Grand Prix CSI3* on Sunday.

Anderson Lima’s 16-effort 1.45m track drew a broad international field showcasing 61 starters from 13 different nations. Eight pairs navigated the course fault-free to earn their spot in the jump-off, a shortened course consisting of eight jumping efforts, including the addition of two new fences, the flower oxer at fence 15 and the Dalman vertical at fence 16.
