Dwyer lets lead slip in Paralympics dressage Freestyle final

Kilkenny native James Dwyer added a sixth place in the Freestyle final to his team bronze medal at the Paralympics this morning in London, on his 16 year-old gelding Orlando.

In gold medal position on a score of 74.400 from the halfway mark of the Grade IV competition, the 42-year-old saw his lead gradually eroded, with gold eventually going to Belgium's Michele George and Rainman with a mark of 82.100, with Britain taking Silver, Sophie Wells scoring 81.150 on Pinocchio.
