Irish pony show jumping team
crowned European Champions
A
N outstanding performance from the GAIN Equine
Nutrition Irish Pony (U16) Show Jumping team
saw them crowned European Champions last
Friday, taking the gold medal at the FEI European
Championships in Strzegom, Poland.
The Irish team of Kilkenny’s Eoin Brennan with ‘Glor Tire
Cruise’ (ISH), Kilkenny’s James Brennan with ‘MHS Glow’
(ISH), Sligo’s Paddy Reape with ‘Valma De Fougnard’,
Clare’s Coen Williams with ‘Saxton Freedam’ (ISH) and
Westmeath’s James Derwin with ‘Rincoola Babog’ (ISH),
managed by Gary Marshall, finished on a zero score to
take the gold medal ahead of France, who took the silver
on four faults, while Netherlands collected the bronze on
12 faults.
Irish pony Show Jumping team manager Gary Marshall
said: “We are over the moon. We worked hard, had a plan
and the team all executed it brilliantly. They are a great
bunch of kids and were well prepared. We didn’t have
the best preparation last year with Covid, but this year
we were prepared. I want to thank all the support staff
at Horse Sport Ireland, all the people on our committee
that helped me with everything I needed, our fantastic
sponsors and of course the riders and their families.”
Horse Sport Ireland CEO Denis Duggan added: “This
was an absolutely fantastic performance from our Irish
pony team to win the European Championship gold
medal against the very best riders around Europe. Huge
congratulations to Eoin, James, Paddy, Coen and James
and to all their parents and families and to team manager
Gary Marshall. Today’s gold medal win adds to the silver

and bronze medal wins for our Junior and Young Rider
Eventing teams last weekend in Britain, and a bronze
medal win for our Junior Show Jumping team last month.
It is a really positive refection on our High Performance
Programmes, which continue to deliver European medal
success. I also want to wish our Eventing team and
individual riders the very best of luck for the rest of the
weekend in Strezgom.”
Ireland’s athletes were also well-placed on the individual
standing heading into Sunday’s individual Show Jumping
final. Just seven riders are on a zero score, with three of
those coming from Ireland.
