SJ Breeding: Top results for Irish Sport Horses across six countries

Two Irish Sport Horse represented their respective countries during Lummen CSIO5* Nations Cup. Dougie Douglas (ISH) & Holly Gillott produced two solid rounds to help Team GBR finish in joint second place. MHS Going Global (ISH) and Tipperary based Greg Broderick recorded a highly respectable four and clear in what was only their second Nations Cup appearance for Team Ireland. The Belgian Nations Cup event produced only two clears rounds from the thirty-two combinations present.

There were further promising results for Kilkenny based Mill House Stud with international wins by MHS Automatic (ISH) under Greg Broderick (ISH) at Lummen CSI2* and MHS Washington (ISH), ridden by Laura Renwick (GBR), at Maubeuge CSI3*. Offaly’s Darragh Kenny notched up another international victory with the Irish Sport Horse mare Belle Rock – this time at Madrid Global Champions Tour.
