Michael Blake has named The Underwriting Exchange Irish Show Jumping team ahead of tomorrow’s five-star Longines FEI Nations Cup.
Blake has named a strong foursome, who will jump fifth of the eight competing nations, as Ireland bid to recreate the magic of last year’s Aga Khan Trophy victory at the Dublin Horse Show.
The Irish team is, in jumping order, as follows;
- Michael Duffy riding Cinca 3, owned by Hibernian Horses Ltd.
- Mikey Pender riding HHS Calais (ISH), owned by Bravo Hughes Ltd.
- Cian O’Connor riding Eve D’Ouilly, owned by Nicole Walker.
- Shane Sweetnam and James Kann Cruz (ISH), owned by Gizmo Partners LLC.
Daniel Coyle is the reserve rider for Ireland.
