Ireland claim runner-up spot in Florida Nations Cup

For the second year in-a-row, the Irish Show Jumping team have finished as runners-up in the FEI Nations Cup at Wellington in Florida, with a jump-off needed to separate Ireland and the USA for the title.

It was only the second time in the 18-year history of the Nations Cup at the Winter Equestrian Festival that there had been a jump-off to determine the winner, with Ireland and the USA finishing tied on eight faults apiece after two rounds of jumping.
