The Wellington "Suncast $25,000 1.50m Championship Jumper classic"
Thrills and spills at West Palm Beach Florida !!!!
Reed Kessler wins the day when super smooth Cian O'Connor suffers a touch of "last jump-itous" and Nick skelton crashes out in spectacular fashion.....
Kessler won the $25,000 competition in unique style being the only rider in the premier international field to bring home her mount with a stunning clear round... Talking straight after she beamed " pacha, (Pacha De Nantuel) her personally owned french 9 yr old gelding was "marvelous". " It was great being the only one to go clear, I wouldn't have fancied being up against the likes of Cian O'Conner and Nick Skelton in a jump off, but I know Pacha was well placed. I had concerns with the Oxer but Pacha is so adjustable and I knew I could rely on him".
Number 1 Irish rider and winter Equestrian Festival leader, Cian O'Connor narrowly missed out on the win in the week that "Horseware Ireland" is the headline sponsor at the premier winter festival attended by most of the worlds top equestrians.
Ireland in fact lead the festival with riders taking the first 3 positions in the series that runs on until April. The venue in West palm beach is alive with talk of the Irish and their impressive performance. The company staging this spectacular equestrian event is headed up by Michael Stone (President) and of course hails from the Emerald Isle. With riders, horses and organization expertise coming from Ireland, the small nation on the edge of Europe is once again proving it's worth and hitting well above it's weight with a huge degree of success....
