A great week for Irish horses at home and abroad

  • 10 June 2021, 17:20

Irish-bred horses were the stars of the week in international show jumping last week, with wins from The Netherlands, USA and at home in Ireland. Ireland’s Sean Monaghan with Irish Sport Horse EMS Adelaide (bred by Willie McElhinney in Co. Donegal) had a great week in Valkenswaard (NED) winning all three of the One-Star classes, including the €10,000 Grand Prix class. Meanwhile at Mullingar International, Irish horses filled the top-ten across the board, particularly for Great Britain’s Nicole Kershaw who won four out of eight of the international classes on two Irish horses – Avalent (ISH) and Miss Valent (ISH).
