It was a good day for the Irish! First Michael Pender took silver and bronze for the 5-year-old horses, then Gerard O'Neill made sure to win the gold for the 6-year-olds. All the medals came on Irish bred horses. All photos (c) Jenny Abrahamsson.

Julian de Boer did some great rounds leading him and Fernando V (Zapatero VDL x Larino) to the silver medal. His time in the jump-off was unbeatable, actually more than ten seconds faster than that of O'Neill, but a rail down stopped him from victory.

Full speed, but for faults in the jump-off, lead to the third place for Thierry Goffinet and Kannabis van de Bucxtale (Contact van de Heffinck x Concord).
