BRITISH riders were outnumbered 23-8 by the Irish in the Jod-Z CCIP2-S at Ballindenisk last weekend but a trio of the visitors finished first, third and fifth in a class where 10 combinations failed to finish.

With a fence down show jumping, Florence Drewitt won on her mother Helen’s 10-year-old grey gelding Crossgales Into The Blu (31.4) who, sadly, has no recorded pedigree; Arabella Henderson finished third on the Irish Sport Pony mare Our Billy Eile (by Billy Mexico), whose total of 40.4 included 6.8 cross-country time penalties, and with 10.8 time penalties over the fixed fences, Clara Wilson was fifth on Atlantic Dreamer who was previously ridden here by Ruth Burke.
