Next stop - Gallagher Dublin Horse Show! 🇮🇪✨

We are all so unbelievably proud of Langara student 𝗭𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗞𝗶𝗿𝗯𝘆-𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮 on her selection with the wonderful 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 🧚‍♀️ for the Children on Horses team representing at the FEI Jumping European Championships in Hagen next week 🙌🏾🇮🇪

Making this achievement even more special is that just 18 months ago Zahara jumped in her very first competition (at 85cm!), and since then she has never looked back! Through relentless hard work, determination and an unwavering commitment to improving every single day - both in the saddle and on the ground - she could not be more deserving of the opportunity to compete on one of the biggest stages in youth showjumping. 💚

Representing your country is an incredible privilege, and every rider who has the honour of wearing the green jacket has already achieved something remarkable.

Thank you to everyone who made this journey possible - parents, grooms, trainers, sponsors, vets, farriers, physios, friends, selectors. We wish every young Irish athlete the very best of luck over the coming week 🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪

A huge well done to every single person who jumped in the Gallagher Dublin Horse Show qualifiers over the past few weeks - at each young rider qualifier only 18 athletes qualified out of the 300 or so taking part. We are so proud of all of our crew and the performances they put in across the qualifiers - it isn’t only about celebrating qualifying places, it’s about recognising the rounds that showed progress, the step-ups, the pressure handled, the lessons learned, and the grit it takes to keep improving through the highs and lows of the sport! 🙌🏾

✨ & 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 🤠 jumped a first round clear in the final 1.30m qualifier which was a huge step up for both of them 📶

✨ 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲 & 𝗭𝗲𝗻𝘆𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮 ☯️ reached the 2nd round twice and the 3rd round once of the 1.15m YR qualifier as well as smashing the Junior Cert in the middle of it all 🙌🏾

✨ Lauren & 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗯𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗱𝘆 🎀 finished one place out in the amateurs

✨ & 𝗠𝘂𝗳𝗮𝘀𝗮 🦁 only got to do the very last qualifier after finishing her exams and had a very unlucky 4fts in the 1.30m which was a big step up for her 👏🏽

✨ Nina Smith reached the second round with 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗲 𝗜𝗻 🙋🏽‍♂️ and had a super unlucky 4fts today on another horse she’d never competed before

✨ 𝗢𝗹𝘄𝘆𝗻 & 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 🦩 jumped clear in all 3 first rounds in the amateur qualifiers and had no luck in round 2 🫣

✨ stassin peelo & 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗢𝗻𝗲 🌻 tackled the absolutely massive qualifier in Mullingar before tackling the even more massive Leaving Cert 💪🏽

✨ 𝗭𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 and fence #1 had a few hairy moments 😂 but we conquered that at the final qualifier earning a qualifying place with 𝗗𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮 🐬 in the COH class 🎫

Thank you to all supporters, parents, sponsors, chauffeurs, grooms for making it all happen 🙌🏾

A huge thank you as always to my sponsors and supporters:
