Last weekend Ireland jumped to victory in the Nations Cup finals and claimed the last available team ticket for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. “We had a very clear objective coming here, to get the ticket [to Tokyo] and the five riders that were here fought really hard." states Rodrigo Pessoa.
"It’s a lot of pressure. People don’t really realise the amount of pressure that is on these riders to bring this qualification home. The weight of the country is on their shoulders. It was a big ask for them today and to do it the way that they did – hats off to all five of them.”
Peter Moloney:
“This was our goal all year to qualify for the Olympics. I am very lucky to have a very good horse in Chianti’s Champion and that makes it a little bit easier. We are very fortunate to have great backing from all the guys on the team and from Rodrigo and from Horse Sport Ireland and all the High Performance Committee.”
