Great Britian dominated at Tattersalls International Horse Trials, with Izzy Taylor winning the Irish Field CCI3* class with Call Me Maggy May.

The sunshine definitely helped as record crowds were recorded over the course of the horse trails with 33,000 spectators visiting the Co Meath venue. The shopping village and other attractions were deemed a success with the Mini-Puissance and dog show both proving to be very popular.

Australian rider Emma McNab won the George Mernagh Memorial CIC3*. Ireland’s Sam Watson had a successful weekend as he finished fourth and sixth in the same class.

Great Britain claimed the Eventing Ireland CCI2* class and the Cooley Farm CCIYH1* 6 and 7 year old class thanks to Piggy French and Laura Collett.

Ireland dominated two out of three of the underage classes. Katie Riley won the Kubota CCIJ1* class and Charlotte Teehan won the Berney Brothers CCI1* for Ponies.

Stephanie Stammschroer finished best of the Irish in the Connolly’s Red Mills CCI2* for Under 25 riders.

British rider Tom Jackson won the class.

Underage success

An all-female Irish pony show jumping team came out on top in Pony Nations Cup in Wierdan, The Netherlands.

The team of Orla Duffy (Atlanta), Katie Power (Ghost Rider), Lucy Shanahan (Caliber De) and Ella Quigley (Clemens 43) finished on a score of three faults, narrowly beating Great Britain who also had an all-female team finishing on a score of five faults.

Adverse weather conditions meant the junior round of the Nations Cup was postponed. When the class resumed the Irish team of Harry Allen (Cheese W Z), Jack Ryan (Cavalier Teaca), Ciaran Nallon (Zaronda II) and Sean Monaghan (Simone) finished joint-second with Britain.
