Lisbon CSIO***
Team Ireland comprising of, Andrew Bourns, Edward Doyle, Marion Hughes & Peter Smyth finished joint 2nd in Fridays Nations Cup. Edward & Samgemgee were the anchor combination for the team and whilst Friday’s event was an off day for Sam, Sundays Grand Prix turned out to be a very good performance for the combination where they were very unlucky to incur 1 time fault in the 1st round. This was followed by 4 faults in the jump off and they ended up finishing 9th overall in the 1.60m class. Together with their 7th placed finish in Thursday nights 1.50m class it was overall a good weeks jumping. Edward’s new mount of 3 weeks, HH Everest collected 3rd place in Saturdays Speed class and Edward sees this horse as a real money winner going forward.
