Pippa Funnell led wire to wire in The Irish Field CCI3* at Tattersalls this weekend, jumping a double clear show jumping round today to win with Billy Beware. Bill Levett, who’s fresh off a win at the Saumur CCI3* with Shannondale Titan, took second place with Improvise, while Pippa Funnell also finished in third place with Billy Landretti. Tattersalls is the biggest event in Ireland, and I’m sure the hometown crowd was thrilled to see Sarah Ennis and BLM Diamond Delux finish the CCI3* in fourth place. Italian Giovanni Ugolotti and Stilo Kontika rounded out the top five.
The CCI3* was one of seven divisions running at Tattersalls this weekend. Bill Levett won the George Mernagh Memorial CIC3* aboard Silk Stone, Kitty King won the Eventing Ireland CCI2* aboard Persimmon, Irish rider Lucy Latta won the Dunboyne Castle Hotel & Spa CCNP2* aboard Nono, Dani Evans won the Connolly’s Red Mills CCI2*U25 aboard Smart Time, Maria Byrne won the Dubarry CCIJ1* aboard Ballygrangans Dolly and Ruth Edge won the Land Rover CCI1* aboard Blacklaw Thymelord.

Trish Ryan sent us the great video below of an entertaining interview with her husband, Mike Ryan, and Jonty Evans at Tattersalls. Michael finished fifth in the CIC3* with Ballylynch Adventure and 33rd in the CCI1* with Ballylynch Frenchie, while Jonty finished 11th in the CCI3* with Winston III and 12th in the CCI1* with The Rocket Man. My favorite part of the interview has to be when Mike is asked who he thinks is the sexiest female rider in eventing, and he has to think for a moment before being reminded to say his wife. Go Tattersalls.
