Irish combinations selected for Dressage Youth Europeans
Ireland will be represented by two individual combinations at the FEI Dressage European Championships this summer, Millie Cosgrave (Let’s Dance) in the Children’s competition and Kate Murphy (Top Hero 2) in Ponies.
The championships take place in Le Mans from July 28th and both Irish combinations will travel to the French venue in excellent form, having produced podium results so far this season.
Cosgrave and Let’s Dance have been producing in the arena, notably when bagging a win and two runner-up finishes in Addington this May. Most recently, Murphy was in fine form at Jardy, adding a runner-up effort in the Pony Individual competition to a pair of third-placed finishes.
Horse Sport Ireland Dressage High Performance manager, Anne Marie Dunphy, said: “I am delighted to nominate Millie and Kate for this year’s European Championships.
“Both athletes have had excellent results throughout the selection period and I am looking forward to seeing them compete at Le Mans.
“I would like to thank Horse Sport Ireland, Sport Ireland and our team sponsors for their ongoing support of the High Performance Youth Dressage Programme.”
