IRISH EVENTERS SET SAIL FOR EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

Today (Thursday, October 4), the senior Irish Eventing squad of Carol Gee,
Trish Donegan, Sasha Harrison and Ann Hatton left Ireland for the Senior
European Eventing Championships at Pau, France, where they will compete
between the dates of October 11 -14.

The line-up of horses and riders, who will compete both as a team and
individually, are:

Carol Gee with Iceman
Ann Hatton with Monatrea Bert
Sasha Harrison with All Love du Fenaud.

The Chef d'Equipe is Helen Cantillon-O'Keeffe, the team vet Con Kennedy and
the trainer is Mary D'Arcy.

The Senior Eventers will be hoping to repeat the success of Ireland's show
jumping squad of Peter Charles, Jessica Kurten, Kevin Babington and Dermott
Lennon, who, at Arnhem in the Netherlands in June of this year, took the
Senior European Team Championships for the first time.

Patricia Donegan was a member of the Irish Three-day Eventing Team that took
