The 2014 FEI World Breeding Eventing Championships for Young Horses at Le Lion D’Angers is now under way. Eighteen Irish Sport Horse are representing eight separate nations; Australia, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Sweden and the USA. Last year Ireland’s Aoife Clark claimed a silver medal riding the Irish Sport Horse Fernhill Adventure.
It is interesting to note that Ard Greyman Attyrory (ISH), who is ridden by Sweden’s Anna Hasso, is a full brother to the five year-old Lanaken silver medalist Ard Ginger Pop (ISH).
