Alexander Butler landed the Bonheiden Grand Prix CSI2 with Chilli B
Alexander Butler had a good weekend, as international competition got back into full swing for the first time since the raft of postponments due to the equine herpes virus (EHV-1) outbreak in Europe.
The Co Meath native claimed top honours in Sunday’s two-star Grand Prix at Bonheiden in Belgium on board the 14-year-old stallion Chilli B.
Ireland was strongly represented in the jump off, with Wexford’s Harry Allen finishing in sixth place with the 10-year-old stallion Guinness.
Butler was delighted to be back competing following the disruption caused by COVID-19 and the EHV-1 outbreak, saying: “It has been a very slow year, but now hopefully we can keep going. I have a nice string of horses that have the ability to compete at the big shows and I am looking forward to the rest of the season.” ....
