Ireland's Olympic rider Michael Ryan took out the CIC 2* class at the inaugural Kilguilkey House International Horse Trials on the weekend.
Riding Carol and Tom Henry’s ‘Ballylynch Wizard,’ Michael added just two time penalties to his dressage score to win the class and the Dan Coleman Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the best Munster-based rider.
The cross country track featured twenty natural fences including banks, logs, ditches and an impressive new water complex on a course designed by Great Britain’s Eric Winter. Blue skies and temperatures in the mid-twenties replaced the early morning mist and the going proved ideal across all classes as you can see from Michael's headcam and preview of the cross country course videos
