Winning Ways at Sharjah and a GCL Announcement

What a week it’s been at Sharjah International with the team taking 4 wins, with a total 7 podium finishes. We really are extremely lucky to be out here with Team Z7 riding such phenomenal horses, at such amazing venues.

Shane started the week taking the win in the 1m40 qualifier on Can Ya Makan, jumping a speedy second phase in under 32 seconds. Evita gave Shane his second win of the day excelling herself in the 1m45 and jumped a beautiful double clear to finish on top. Jack and Essenar High Hopes finished off the day for the Breen Team with a 3rd place in the 1m50 Grand Prix Qualifier following a fantastic round from both horse and rider.

On Thursday Shane came out meaning business, with Z7 Ipswich on top form, adding to the team’s winning tally with a lovely double clear round the 5* 1m50 jump off class, unusually finishing in joint first place alongside Egypt’s Mouda Zeyada. A great result for the new ownership with Team Z7 and Sheika Maitha

The final day started with both Shane and Jack jumping double clears on Z7 Ascot and Cuick Star Kervec respectively. But it was Z7 Ascot who had the edge and took second place with less than 0.5 seconds between them and the winner, while Jack and Cuick Star finished a very respectable 6th place. Z7 Regal Don then followed suit and gave Shane his 4th win of the competition in the 7 year old final, jumping a spectacular double clear, winning by over 10 seconds. A nice follow up after the horse won the 6 year old final at this show last year.

Georgia has now flown out to Dubai to join the team and we’re looking forward to seeing what is in store at the next show.

This week also came with the announcement that Shane will be joining New York Empire in the Global Champions League, riding alongside Georgina Bloomberg, Scott Brash Daniel Bluman Denis Lynch and Spencer Smith.

Ireland's Shane Breen and Ipswich van de Wolfsakker (Carembar de Muze x Quick Star) got 2020 off to a good start when taking the top honours in Saturday's CSI4* Abu Dhabi Grand Prix FEI Jumping World Cup™ counting for the Arab Leagues.

Ten of the 35 horse-and-rider combinations in the 1.45-1.60m Grand Prix moved on to the second round against the clock, where Breen and his 12-year-old gelding were the fastest with their time of 45.23 seconds. Following in runner-up position were Gerfried Puck (AUT) and Bingo du Parc (Mylord Carthago x Diamant de Semilly), after stopping the clock on 45.90 seconds. Third place went to Osama Al Zabibi (SYR) on Flash Gordon (For Keeps x Polydor) with a time of 52.83 seconds. Fastest of all was Abdel Saïd (EGY) on his new ride Alanine de Vains (Allegreto x Adelfos), but with one rail down the pair had to settle for fourth followed by Jack Ryan (IRL) on Essenar High Hopes (Phin Phin x Indoctro) in fifth.

"I am delighted with the win, Ipswich jumped fantastic," Breen comments to World of Showjumping. "I would like to thank all my owners and especially Team Z7. It's wonderful to be back competing in the UAE!"
