THE WORLD Cup Qualifier at Gothenburg in Sweden will be the highlight
of a very busy weekend for members of Team Ireland Equestrian, with
participation in a total of seven shows across the world.

Jessica Kurten, Billy Twomey and Dermott Lennon are the show jumpers
in action at the five-star Swedish venue, where the main World Cup
competition takes place on Sunday afternoon, with the Gothenburg Grand
Prix scheduled for Saturday evening.

Three Irish riders will be at the Spanish Sunshine Tour at Vejer de la
Frontera, but a total of ten line out in nearby Portugal for the two-
star show at Comporta, and a similar number compete at Villeneuve-
Loubet in France.

Eddie Macken and Jennifer Crooks represent Ireland at Thermal in
California, while on the opposite US coast, Darragh Kenny, Shane
Sweetnam and Kevin Babington fly the flag in Wellington, Florida.

The Eventing season kicks off at Vale Sabroso in Portugal today
(Thursday), with Rachel Power taking part in the two-star, and Carol
Gee, Felicity Ward and Shane Power competing at one-star level.
