"I AM constantly striving to improve my riding and the way I work and produce my horses. We work in a very dynamic sport and business and it’s forever changing and I think that we all have to work very hard to keep up!” said international show jumper Andrew Bourns this week.

The Galway native is competing at the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival in Traverse City, Michigan, where he picked up a host of three-star results last week. In fact, from five starts with three horses, he placed in the top 10 four times and finished 13th on the other occasion.
