Foley successfully piloted the grey Irish Sport Horse, Castlefield Vegas over multiple fault-free rounds, eventually qualifying them for the final jump-off. With only one fence down, Foley was able to claim the individual gold with a score of 5.59 over Oliver Fletcher’s 6.20. Foley’s victory on Sunday bridged a 42-year gap from the last time Ireland won the Junior European Championships.
“Since changing my stirrups to American Equus, I feel much more confident in my tack,” remarked Foley. “I have obviously had great success in winning the gold at Europeans recently and look forward to the success of the future and further representing this brand.”
