CLIP MY HORSE - ‘THE LAST LINE’

‘Looking back on Team Ireland’s unforgettable win at the LLN Ocala last year, where Darragh Kenny, Daniel Coyle, Shane Sweetnam and myself combined forces under the leadership of Chef d’Equipe Michael Blake to clinch victory.

This very moment is captured in ‘The Last Line’, the FEI / ClipMyHorse documentary on the Longines League of Nations.

It was Leg 2 in Ocala, and Ireland showed true grit, teamwork and composure under pressure — a performance that’s replayed beautifully in that film. Thank you to the Clip My Horse/FEI Team for this wonderful reminder of what we achieved together.’
