“He felt like he was dancing with the music which was a lot of fun, and I was really happy with him overall,” said Irwin, of Donegal V and his 80’s inspired Freestyle ride. “He felt really good today. I thought that it was a really nice ride.” The pair earned another victory earlier in the week in the FEI Prix St. Georges – CDI 1*, presented by Chesapeake Dressage Institute. Commenting on Donegal V’s future, Irwin said, “I’d like to do a few more of the small tour competitions this season, but he’s training and working toward the Grand Prix so ideally I’d like to try I-2 and then maybe Grand Prix at some point at the end of the season.”
