Welcome to day one of competition here at Ballindenisk!
A very soft (!) Irish September morning welcomed our pathfinders. With 7 horses to compete over the next few days, Oliver Townend (GBR) was first into the Heineken CCI* arena, with Ececheira and did a lovely test to finish on 46.3. He finished today in 2nd place but also lies 3rd overnight in the feature CCI3* class with Ulises, so a good start to his weekend.
Our overnight leader in the CCI* class is another British rider – Millie Dumas who scored 44.5 with Fabian.
A fantastic start too for Flora Harris (GBR) who lies in 1st and 2nd place overnight in the Horse Sport Ireland CCI2* with Monart’s Masterpiece and Billy Bandit (41.5 and 43.0 respectively). Best of the Irish overnight is Alison Holden with a score of 45.7 – she lies in 5th place with O My Balladeer. New Zealand has the overnight honours in the CCI3* with Jonathan Paget scoring an impressive 38.7 with Angus Blue. Just behind him, Ireland’s Aidan Keogh is in 2nd place with Master Tredstep on 40.9.
Next up for these classes is Cross Country on Saturday – only two more sleeps!
If you want to see some fantastic riders jumping huge fences, come and join us on Saturday. XC gets underway at 09.30 with the CIC* (Ponies) followed by the CIC* (10am), CCI* (11am), CIC2* (13.00), CIC3* (15.00), CCI3* (16.00) and CCI2* (17.00).
Tomorrow sees the dressage phases for our CIC classes while the CIC3* will showjump from 17.00.
