    Partners in Paris - Aga Khan Special

    With it being one of the highlights on the Irish Equestrian calendar we couldn't not do an episode on the Aga Khan team that will compete for Ireland at the Dublin Horse Show this week. After what has been a massively successful season for Michael Blake’s team, a quartet of Darragh Kenny with VDL Cartello, Denis Lynch with Vistogrand, Mark McAuley with GRS Lady Amaro (ISH) and Cian O’Connor with Fancy De Kergane will enter the fray on Friday bidding to go one better than last year, when they finished runner-up to a perfect Swiss performance. You can watch it live on RTÉ from 1.45pm if you can't make it to the show. Horse Sport Ireland is the National Governing Body for Equestrian Sport in Ireland and maintains The Irish Horse Register.

    Partners in Paris - Day 11 Review

    The final day of equestrian sport in Chateau de Versailles took place this morning with the Individual Final taking centre stage. Ireland were represented by two athletes, Daniel Coyle and Shane Sweetman, who though didn't quite make the podium acquitted themselves well in great company. After ten days of action and our nine athletes holding their own on the world stage there can be nothing but pride when reflecting on the Paris Olympics.

    Partners in Paris - Day 10 Review

    After a quiet weekend for the Show Jumping Team, the individual qualification round was held whereby 75 combinations where to be narrowed down to 30 ahead of tomorrow's final. Clears from Shane Sweetnam and James Kann Cruz and Daniel Coyle and Legacy means they progress to tomorrow. An unfortunate fence down for Cian O'Connor and Maurice left it up to time, and it was two seconds that left him on the wrong side of the cut off. The individual final takes place tomorrow at 10am French time and will be in reverse order of merit following today's classification.

    The Underwriting Exchange Irish Show Jumping Team competed in the Final of the Team Show Jumping competition here in Paris. After qualifying yesterday all teams scores reverted back to zero ahead of today's competition. Ireland finished on a score of 14 faults which unfortunately wasn't good enough for a team medal and left us in 7th place overall. Ahead of the individual qualification round on Monday, all competitors will have a vet check tomorrow at lunchtime.

    The Underwriting Exchange Irish Show Jumping Team got their Olympics underway today in Versailles. With twenty teams vying to finish in the top ten and earn their place in tomorrows final, competition was tough.

All teams will start on back on zero so it's all to play for in tomorrow's team final. Jumping begins at 2pm French Time/1pm Irish Time.

    Partners in Paris - Day 2 Review

    After Cross Country of the Eventing competition, the Agria Irish Eventing Team are lying in 8th place on a score of 121.1. Sarah, Susie and Austin jumped clear jumping rounds; Sarah and Susie added just time penalties to their dressage score while Austin was one of just ten riders to add nothing to their dressage score of 31.7. Post cross country round, Action Lady M was found to have an injury which will mean she won't show jump tomorrow. The P Alternate Athlete, Aoife Clark and Sportsfield Freelance will be substituted in to complete the team. All horses will be presented before the Ground Jury tomorrow morning to be passed fit to show jump. Action kicks off in the Main Arena at 11am French Time. Abigail Lyle and Giraldo got their Olympic debut underway by passing the trot up this morning. They will enter the arena on Tuesday with exact times to follow.
