FEI Dressage European Championships update

DRESSAGE athlete Alex Baker has been forced to withdraw her horse, Dutchman, for veterinary reasons from the FEI Dressage European Championships which get underway at Hagen in Germany later this week.

The remaining two Irish combinations selected for the Championships, Carolyn Mellor with Gouverneur M and Anna Merveldt with Esporim, will now compete at the Championships as individuals. Alex Baker will still travel to Hagen to support her fellow Irish athletes.
