Ireland’s Chef d’equipe Michael Blake has chosen an experienced quintet of Darragh Kenny, Daniel Coyle, Cian O’Connor, Denis Lynch and Bertram Allen for the World Equestrian Games.
“VDL Cartello and Darragh Kenny are a pairing who know what it takes at this level too – Cartello was brilliant in the Nations Cup final last year in Barcelona, jumping double clear. He has enjoyed a fantastic season so far and was successful in Mexico City.
“Cian O’Connor has jumped at many, many championships and has been the highest-placed member of the team at the last few Olympic Games. He has an exciting new partnership with C Vier 2 and the pair have been clear in two Nations Cups. He is a horse who is improving all the time at the top level.
