THE World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) young horse championship season is nearly complete after Ermelo (dressage) and Lanaken (show jumping). Just this week, the Irish Sport Horse team for the final championship (eventing) at Le Lion d’Angers was announced.

Another fixture was last weekend’s WBFSH Studbooks Global Champions Tour Trophy, hosted at Jan Tops’ Valkenswaard base featuring Nations Cup-style finals for five, six, seven and eight-year-olds and a sires competition.
