Equestrian: Billy Twomey and Bertram Allen boost Irish ranks in Florida

Wednesday sees the start of Week 4 of the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) in Wellington, Florida, while a second fixture in the same area at Deeridge Farms also gets underway.

Both fixtures are at four-star level and the Deeridge meeting includes an American round of the FEI World Cup. Apart from the strong Irish presence in situ for the three months of the WEF, the number is added to this week with the arrival of Bertram Allen and Billy Twomey.
