ROLEX World Cup jumping resumes this weekend in Geneva, Switzerland, with three of Ireland's top-ranked riders taking part in the sixth leg of the 13-show season, which finishes in April next year.
Jessica Kurten brings 'API Largo', 'Castle Forbes Cosma' and 'Lektor' to the five-star show, while Denis Lynch lines out with 'Abbervail van het Dingeshof', 'Lantinus', and 'Tarpan'. Cian O'Connor, meanwhile, debuts his new Irish-bred gelding 'Larkhill Cruiser' at international level, and will also bring another Irish-bred horse, 'Asturias', for the Puissance, as well as 'Splendor' and 'Umberto'.
International classes start at Geneva today (Thursday), with the World Cup competition scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
At Hengelo in the Netherlands, meanwhile, Mayo's Cameron Hanley will campaign three horses this weekend, while in vaulting, Charlotte Rimaud makes her first international appearance for Ireland since March at the Salon du Cheval in Paris.
