Last Sunday, France's Francois Xavier Boudant and Brazyl du Mezel won the Longines International Grand Prix of Ireland – taking home a title that was last won by a French pair in 1995 when Patrice Delaveau and Roxane de Gruchy took the top honours. Throughout the prestigious Dublin Grand Prix’s 89 years of history, Boudant became the third ever French winner at the 2023-edition of the event. "This was my first time in Dublin, and it was amazing," Boudant said about the traditional Irish venue. "There are so many people who love horses; the atmosphere is fantastic."
And with this we look back at the Grand Prix, with our very last photo special from Dublin for now.

Great Britain's Harry Charles and Romeo 88 bounced back from an uncharacteristic 29 faults in the second round of Friday's Nations Cup to jump double clear and finish 2nd in the Grand Prix. "It was brilliant, I think it was one of the best jump-off rounds we have done together, and one of the best rounds he has jumped since we have had him so I am really happy with it," Charles said.
