Ginny Elliot said “So far in 2010 14 Irish combinations have competed at four-star level and these six have come through very strongly. There is a really good mix of youth and experience and I just hope they all stay sound and do well in their upcoming competitions.”
Just earlier this week, Ireland announced that it would only be sending 5 riders to the WEGs due to high transportation costs. Team Ireland seems to be taking the approach of focusing on their very best riders in pre-WEG training and just hoping that they stay sound.
