SHOW Jumping Manager Robert Splaine has declared the Irish team that will take part in the four-star Florida Nations' Cup in Wellington, USA this week (Friday March 5).
The Irish team is (in alphabetical order):
Kevin Babington; Souvenir
Darragh Kenny; Obelix and Gale Force
Richie Moloney; Brooke van de Zuuthoeve
Shane Sweetnam: Rolette and Zamiro 16
All of the team are US-based, and Robert Splaine welcomed the opportunity to see them in action at this level. He said: "While it is relatively easy to see the Irish riders who are based in Europe on a regular basis, only occasionally does the opportunity present itself to see the American-based Irish riders perform as a team. Wellington will give me that opportunity, and help me with my plans for the 2010 Meydan Series super league."
