IRISH riders were one solid unit at the World Equestrian Games and that united team spirit follows on from a winter of fundraising to achieve their championship goals. Aside from working hard in training, the eventers were also out working hard to get people involved in the sport, and raise the vital funds to ensure they had all the necessary training done to make their dreams come true.

“We’ve had a lot of fun this week, but we have been focused, we’ve been really well prepared, we’ve got results over the last 12 months that show we should be doing what we are doing, so for us, this is all just going to plan, that’s it,” Sam Watson said.
