Millstreet International Horse Trials hosted the latest leg of the FEI Eventing Nations Cup. The class was presented by Connolly’s Red Mills and was run in the new Olympic Eventing format which allows riders to be substituted.
Ireland had to make use of this substitution early on when Clare Abbott withdrew Euro Prince before the dressage due to injury. This resulted in Ireland incurring 100 penalties.
Sarah Ennis, riding Woodcourt Garrison, and Austin O’Connor, riding Kilpatrick Knight, added time penalties cross country. Substitute rider James O’Haire with China Doll added 20 penalties.
