Podium finish for Clare’s Eoin in season opener

Co Clare’s Eoin McMahon has made an excellent start to the 2022/2023 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup season, scoring a podium place finish in today’s opening round of the series at Oslo in Norway.

Riding the 12-year-old mare Chakra, McMahon was one of 11 combinations to make it into the jump-off after a clear first round. Drawn first to go in the jump-off, McMahon posted an impressive clear in 46.13 seconds against the clock, which would be good enough for third place at the finish and 15 league points for the Irishman.

The second leg of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup, Western European League,  takes place in Helsinki, Finland next weekend.
