New Zealand Eventing at Millstreet

While New Zealand have already qualified a team for Paris 2024, they do have a team in both the FEI Nations Cup and the CCIO3*-L, viewing them as good opportunities for their riders to operate in a team environment

The New Zealand team for the CCIO4*-S comprises Clarke Johnstone aboard Menlo Park, Samantha Lissington with Ricker Ridge Sooty GNZ, Tim Price on Falco and Jonelle Price aboard McClaren.

Libby Law travelled with the Kiwi team to Millstreet and will be on the ground for us too over the next few days, so stay tuned for some fabulous photos! In the meantime here’s a little reel produced by Libby of the Kiwi horses and riders settling into Millstreet after their journey across the water from the UK
