Ireland’s top guns in showjumping continue their global campaign over the next four days after a successful series of results last weekend.
Mayo-born Cameron Hanley and Meath rider Cian O'Connor appear at the World Cup show in Verona, Italy from on Thursday, each fielding three of their best horses.
O'Connor had two victories at France's World Cup show in Lyon last week, with Hanley taking a runner-up spot to his fellow Irish rider in one of the competitions.
In Canada, Toronto's World Cup show begins on Friday, with former Irish World Champion Dermott Lennon hoping to improve on his successful outing at Syracuse in New York last Saturday, when he finished fourth in the World Cup class there.
Elsewhere, Army rider Capt. David O'Brien lines out at Leszno in Poland with three of the Minister for Defence's Irish-bred horses, while Jessica Kurten travels to Liege in Belgium, Denis Lynch to Oldenburg in Germany, and Josh Kerrigan to Wierden in the Netherlands.
