Your guide to Saturday's Defender Puissance

Patrik Spits & Pepper van de Achterhoek This is the first trip to Dublin for this horse. Patrik last faced an international Puissance wall in 2015 and it’s the first international wall for Pepper van de Achterhoek.

Horse age: 9

Joseph Trunkfield & Cruze This pair were joint Puissance winners at the 2022 London International Horse Show over a height of 2.15 m. At that same competition, they also won the Six Bar class over 1.90 m. For horse and rider, that London 2022 run was their first appearance at a five- star show like Dublin. With Cruze now under new ownership, he and Joseph are reuniting tonight to take on the Dublin wall. This is my first time competing in Dublin and I am very much looking forward to it and what a class to be able to compete in! Cruze has all the jump for the job, so it’s down to me to give him a good trip and I’m sure he’ll love the Irish turf!

Horse age: 13
