It’s been a great night for Kiwi equestrians competing offshore, with wins in Ireland and Germany to eventer Tim Price and showjumper Bruce Goodin.
Price and 11-year-old Wesko (owned by the Wesko Syndicate) won the George Mernagh Memorial CIC3* at the Tattersalls International Horse Trials in Ireland, heading home 27 other combinations.
Price was second after the dressage phase, sitting on 39.2 penalty points, and added four faults to his score from the showjumping, but a clear and inside time effort in the cross country saw him pass the overnight leader to finish on 43.2 penalty points.
It is the first CIC3* win of Wesko’s career, but last year he was second in the CIC3* at Hartpury. He also won the CCI3* at Blair Castle in 2013.
Lucy Jackson also did well aboard Bosun (owned by BGV Syndicate) moving up to take fourth place, and finishing on her dressage score of 49.8.
