Dressage team lead Irish chase for Tokyo 2020 in Rotterdam

Five days from today Ireland’s dressage team will commence their bid for honours and a possible Tokyo 2020 place when the European Championships get under way in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The Championships feature Dressage, Show Jumping and Para-Dressage, and it will be the dressage competition that gets the whole affair underway on Monday.

The Irish squad has been preparing in Germany ahead of the Championships and will travel to the Netherlands ahead of Sunday’s horse inspection. The Irish team consists of Kate Dwyer with Snowdon Faberge, Heike Holstein with Sambuca, Anna Merveldt with Esporim and Judy Reynolds with Vancouver K.
