Team Ireland Equestrian’s Pony show jumping high performance manager Tom Slattery said that he was looking forward to working with the riders and ponies during the lead up period. He is also keen to maximise Ireland's chances of further success at pony level.

"We were team silver medallists for the last two years running and this year we have won three Nations Cups in a row in at Fontainebleau, Wierden and Hagen.." said Tom. "However, success at the championships is the main goal. It will be a further step up and maintaining the momentum will be vital.”
