Team Ireland is in Top form again at this year’s European Pony Championships in Strzegom Poland.  After having our Under 16 Pony Showjumping Team win the European Gold on Friday, our Under 16 Pony Eventing Team has pulled out all the stops to bring us home Team Bronze today Sunday 18th August, while Team GB took the Gold and Team France took the Silver. 

The Irish Team made up of Grace Tyrell on Fiona’s Fionn, Alex Connors on Millridge Buachaill Bui, Brian Kuehnle on Tullibards Sixth Sense, Tiggy Hancock and Coppenagh Spring Sparrow and managed by Becky Cullen, gave super performances in the Dressage phase and was in a very competitive 4th Position after the Dressage. 

A super cross country performance by our riders yesterday, Saturday, saw Team Ireland climb up to 3rd Position.  A solid performance in the final Showjumping Phase today, gave Ireland the Team Bronze Medal!

Also Team members that were in the Individual Competition recorded great finishes; with Olivia Swan and Rockon Pedro finishing in 13th place overall, while Susan Shanahan on Fernhill Mix And Match, finished in 24th place. 

A massive well done to the Irish Team; their manager Becky Cullen; Team Ireland Equestrian, and Horse Sport Ireland on their super job in supporting and training such fine young Equestrians.
