Glenhill strikes gold for Cullen at Ballindenisk Horse Trials
The Armagh rider produced a jumping clear on Saturday’s cross-country with the stallion Glenhill Gold and went into yesterday’s show jumping phase in second place behind Belgium’s Karin Donckers (Lamicell Charizard), after both benefited from the withdrawal of overnight leader, Briton Chloe Newton and the Cork-bred Newmarket Vasco One.
On a day when clears were at a premium — the long-format CCI competition yielding just one — Armagh rider Cullen added eight show jumping faults to his tally for a completion of 62.4 penalties.
