Equestrian: Irish chase rich pickings in Geneva

Leading Irish eventers Padraig McCarthy and Cathal Daniels are among the riders heading to Switzerland for this week’s CHI Geneva five-star fixture. Show jumpers Darragh Kenny, Mikey Pender, and Mark McAuley will also be present hoping to boost their bank balances at what is one of the most prestigious fixtures on the calendar.
McCarthy, who is a team and individual world silver-medalist, will partner Rosemaber Lancuest, while Daniels, who was also a member of the Irish world silver medal-winning team and is the current European individual bronze-medalist, brings Alcatraz to the Swiss venue.
