Ulster Region's FAB FOUR Compete in France this weekend

Rachel HoustonJessica JohnstonFionn Clarke & Tyrone Flanagan did  Ulster Region Showjumping proud at last  Fontainebleau CSIOP!

Saturday's Nations Cup - After the draw, France inherited the opener up in the main class of Saturday afternoon, the Nations Cup judged over two rounds, a spot not easy to accomplish. The team did quite well in the 1st round but British riders realized the perfect score with a double clear in the two rounds, guaranteeing their first success ever in the Nations Cup of Fontainebleau, after their gold medal (team and individual) last year at the European Championships. Germany put pressure on British chef d’equipe Katrina Moore but one fault too many led German team to the final 2nd place. Ireland and Belgium, for their comeback to Fontainebleau after several years of absence, ended the class with equal score of 16 pts. Denmark and Norway did not start in the 2nd round.

Rachel Houston was part of the Irish squad which finished equal-third in the Fontainebleau Nations Cup on Saturday 20th April with Team GB taking the honours. Rachel also WON the Fontainebleau CSIOP 1.25 on Saturday morning and finished 9th in Friday's 'Fontainebleau CSIOP 1.25' riding her proud mum Joanne Houston's 'Blessington Grange Mist'. Fionn Clarke and Knockroe Little Mike finished 5th in CSIP 1.20 Two Phase. Well Done Everyone!      Click Here for Fontainebleau In Pictures
