Riders
Riding full-time for Bourns Sport Horses in Co Galway, Rankin has competed successfully on the national and international circuit in both Europe and America for the past three years. Last summer, she represented Ireland at Young Rider European Championships, finishing 11th individually with Baccarat and fourth in the U25 Grand Prix at CSIO5* La Baule, France in May.
This year, she was given the opportunity by the RDS Equestrian Committee to compete in the five-star classes at the show, and on Saturday she proved she was a worthy recipient when she secured fifth place in the competitive JLT Dublin Stakes against some of the best riders in the world.
