Babington is upbeat

Speaking yesterday as he travelled to the Mecca of Irish showjumping, the Carrick-on-Suir rider said that, as demonstrated by recent nations cup wins in Germany and Switzerland, the team are in top form and will be justifiably confident.

“We have a strong team, that are going really well at the moment. On paper, we have a good chance, as long as everything goes to plan. We all have enough experience to go into the competition confident, without being cocky,” said the Tipperary rider.
