Judy Reynolds breaks new ground as first Irish rider to line out at World Cup final

Dressage rider Judy Reynolds is breaking new ground this weekend as the first Irish rider to line out in a World Cup final and her aim is to replicate the performances that have seen her greatly improve Ireland’s reputation in the sport.

The Kildare native came close to qualifying for the showcase in Gothenburg, Sweden, as she strived and succeeded to win a place for Ireland in the Olympics.

However, she subsequently found herself booking a ticket for the World Cup final when a number of riders opted not to compete. As such, she feels she is in bonus territory.
