Irish Horse Board Showjumping Classes at Galway County Show

The forth leg in the series of IHB Showjumping Classes took place at Galway County Show last weekend. Qualifiers in both age categories were held on Saturday morning, with the top twenty in each group qualifying for Sunday’s finals.

In the 5 year old final, Oakport White Water (ISH) and Andrew Bourns were victorious. This was the second victory of the season for this mare by Cruising (ISH). In the 6/7 year old final it proved to be Andrew Bourns’ day again, when he won the class on his six year old mare, Gowran Park (ISH).

The Irish Horse Board would like to thank all those involved with Galway County Show for the success of the IHB classes over the weekend.
