Lynch finishes strongly in Spain

SHOW JUMPER Denis Lynch rounded off a good weekend at the World Cup show in Vigo, Spain, when steering Abbervail van het Dingeshof to fifth place in yesterday’s grand prix.

In Saturday’s World Cup class, Lynch and the gelding were among an amazing 17 combinations that made the jump-off from a 35-strong starting line-up. However, two fences down saw them place 14th. Lynch also started out well at the show, taking the opener on Tarpan.

Jessica Kürten, too, was in the ribbons, including placing third with Fashion in yesterday’s two-phase.
