Ireland’s Tom Wachman became one of the youngest winners ever at the London International Horse Show after taking victory at the Turkish Airlines Grand Prix aboard Do It Easy.<\/p>\n
The 20-year from Tipperary produced a faultess first round on the 12-year old gelding in a time of 68.85 seconds and then delivered a clear round in the jump-off in a stunning 32.59.<\/p>\n
It continues a stellar year for Wachman – grandson of Coolmore Stud owner John Magnier – who collected the FEI Rising Star award last month. <\/p>\n
The Irish rider took top spot on the podium ahead of Canada’s Kara Chad and Igor GPH, who clocked 33.64 in the jump-off. <\/p>\n
Third place went to Austria’s Max Kuhner, the World Cup winner in London this week, who completed the jump-off in 34.14 with his horse Greece 5. <\/p>\n
Britain’s John Whitaker was pushed into fourth, while Dutch rider Kim Emmen completed the top five. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ireland’s Tom Wachman became one of the youngest winners ever at the London International Horse Show after taking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":206311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-206310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
