Five-year-olds

It is not unusual to be an Irish party at the World Championships for Young Horses. And this was also the case in the class for 5-year-old horses! Greg Broderick won gold with Arraghbegh Clover. After her first place at the World Championship, the mare changed stables, to eventually be sold to the Russian Olga Chechina with whom she jumped to 1m45 level.

Silver went to Bertram Allen who had saddled Castlefield Denver for the occasion. He is a half-brother of the 1m60 jumping Warwick (Roelof Bril), but Denver himself never performed higher than his second place at the World Championship.

For Invisible Star and Guillaume Batillat, there was a bronze medal at the World Championship in 2013. This daughter of Winningmood x Skippy II was bred by Walter Lelie and still competed internationally at the beginning of this year with the Brazilian Fernando Chiarotto Penteado. They jumped together at 1m50 level!
