A fantastic performance from Irish Endurance riders Tom MacGuinness, Hilda Donahue and Martin McNamara, saw them all successfully complete the demanding CEI3* 160 km at the FEI 2021 Endurance European Championship test event in Ermelo, The Netherlands this weekend.
MacGuinness with Chamaille Des Aubus, Donahue with Horseware Roble BH Magdalena, and McNamara with Horseware HLM Fontana crossed the line together in 12th, 13th and 14th places respectively which was a fantastic result given just 35% of the field managed to complete the full course.
The Irish trio completed the course in just under nine and a half hours with an average speed of 16.9 km. The result is a massive boost for Irish Endurance riding ahead of the 2021 European and World Endurance Championships.
