Irish-bred horses excelled throughout the world of showjumping last week. At the CSIO5* Nations Cup in Spruce Meadows Slieveanorra produced two excellent rounds of jumping, incurring only one time fault, helping Team Ireland emerge victorious. USA entered two teams in the Nations Cup, Stars and Stripes, placing second and third respectively. USA stars featured featured the World Cup winning Flexible as the anchor while Flaming Star and Special Lux accounted for half of Team USA Stripes.

County Tyrone breeder Alan Robertson had two winners at Bolesworth CSI3*. Any Questions, ridden by Ireland’s Clem McMahon, claimed the ‘Brooke Pea’ 1m40 speed class while Tim Gredley (GBR) rode Unex Omega Star to victory in the ‘Gaskells’ 1m40 Two Phase.
