Wellington, United States – February 06, 2026 – Ireland was back on top on Friday during Week 5 at the 2026 Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) at Wellington International. Early in the day, five-star competition took the stage once again with Jordan Coyle (IRL) winning the $62,500 Bainbridge Companies CSI 5* with King Kannan GP.
Fifty combinations entered the ring for the 1.50m speed challenge but it was Jordan who flew the fastest aboard the 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Elan Farm, registering no penalties in 58 seconds flat.
A speedster in his own right and one of the most consistent riders at the venue so far this season, Mark Bluman (COL) was nearly a second slower on Phelina de Septon, earning reserve honors in 58.91 seconds.
Richard Vogel (GER) and Iron Dames Abou-Chaker also left all the poles up for no penalties too, conquering bronze honors in 59.62 seconds.
