Izzy Taylor Wins Tattersalls Horse Trials Irish Field CCI***
Izzy Taylor and Allercombe Ellie win The Irish Field CCI*** at Tattersalls International Horse Trials & Country Fair in association with Horse Sport Ireland
In excess of 23,000 enjoyed glorious weather at Tattersalls International Horse Trials & Country Fair in association with Horse Sport Ireland to watch Great Britain’s IZZY TAYLOR riding Susan Halroyd’s ALLERCOMBE ELLIE win the coveted Irish Field CCI*** class ahead of fellow Great Britain LOUISE HARWOOD and WHITSON. Best of the Irish in the class was local lady SARAH ENNIS fresh from her win at Chatsworth who finished in third place riding her own STELLOR REBOUND.
New Zealand’s TIM PRICE riding The Wesko Syndicate’s WESKO claimed top position in the George Mernagh Memorial CIC*** Class ahead of overnight leader’s MILLIE DUMAS and ARTISTIEK. In third place was last year’s winner BILL LEVETT representing Australia riding IMPORVISE.
Commenting on the event, Tattersalls Ireland Managing Director Roger Casey said;
‘We are very proud of how the international horse trials went over the last few days. I spoke again during the week about this event being an enduring legacy of the late George Mernagh and today, on his birthday I sincerely believe that we have honoured that legacy. There is a real sense that the event has taken another giant stride forward this year in terms of its quality and quantity of entries and its overall position in the annual international sporting and social calendar. An attendance of over 23,000 people is testament to its appeal as a sporting event of real significance and as an established attraction to the wider public. I cannot express how grateful everyone involved is to our tireless volunteers and officials, to the supportive owners and competitors and to all those that provide financial support – Horse Sport Ireland, The Irish Sports Council and our generous class and fence sponsors. We will now start to consider how we can improve the event further in 2015 in what will be its 10th year.’
