Double gold for pony eventers
Individual gold went to Galway’s Cathal Daniel, riding Master Murrose, with Tipperary’s Ana O’Brien — daughter of racing’s Aidan O’Brien — and Ice Cool Bailey claiming bronze. Their performances, along with those of Lucy Latta (Nono) and Gavin Smiddy (Mr Hale Bob), also helped to secure team gold .
The team led from post to finish, becoming the first Irish team to top the leaderboard after dressage. The quartet extended their lead in the cross-country, before holding off the British and Dutch in yesterday’s show jumping phase.
