Good luck to our irish riders and horses competing in Lanaken next week

The FEI WBFSH World Breeding Jumping Championships for Young Horses will take place from 18th to 21st September in Lanaken, Belgium. Fifteen Irish Sport Horses have been selected to represent the Irish Sport Horse Studbook at these prestigious Championships for 5, 6 and 7 year old horses.

The Irish Sport Horse Studbook has enjoyed huge success at Lanaken in recent years. In 2010, Captain David O’Brien (IRL) and Drumiller Lough (ISH) took the silver medal in the 6 Year Old World Championships and the following year saw Clem McMahon (IRL) and NLS Coole Al Clover (ISH) clinch the gold medal to be crowned 6 Year Old World Champions. In the 7 Year Old Final that same year Ireland’s Greg Broderick and Ballypatrick Mystique (ISH) took home the bronze medal. Last year was another highly successful year for the Irish at the Belgian venue, when Greg Broderick (IRL) and Arraghbeg Clover (ISH) were crowned 5 Year Old World Champions.

The 15 horses that have been selected to represent the Irish Sport Horse Studbook in the 2014 Championships are listed below. Competition kicks off on Thursday 18th September with the first qualifier classes. On Friday the second qualifier classes will take place and the consolation classes will run on Saturday. All eyes will be on the main arena on Sunday, when the 5, 6 and 7 Year Old World Championships will be decided.

Chef d’Equipe for the Irish Sport Horse Team travelling to Lanaken is Comdt. John Ledingham. Speaking on the announcement of the team, he said; “I would like to wish all riders, owners and breeders the very best of luck at the World Breeding Championships.”
