Sam Watson (Irl) and Ballybolger Bushman (ISH) finished third in the CIC** at the Gatcombe International Horse Trials over the weekend. The duo received a dressage score of 49.5 and were clear cross country. After just one fence down in the showjumping phase they finished on a score of 53.5. It was a good weekend for Sam when, at the same event, he finished in third place in the CIC* with his six-year-old gelding Marlboro Man (ISH).

On the showjumping circuit, Fidel Vogt (Lie) and his eighteen-year-old gelding Touch Of Clover (ISH), finished in third place in the Lipica Grand Prix FEI World Cup. Their achievement meant they took home a good share of the €20,500 prize fund.
