SHOW JUMPING chef d’equipe Gary Marshall was still on a high this week following the gold medal winning performance from his team in Strzegom.

Speaking to The Irish Field, he said: “It was unbelievable. They are a super bunch of kids who fitted together brilliantly. You can’t win those medals without cohesion of the group and I studied that hard. As soon as I pick my team, I take them to dinner and get them to do as many things as possible together, because every day of the week, these riders are competing against each other and then all of a sudden, they have to be a team. The coaching, the parents, everybody, it was an amazing team effort.
