Máiread Curran competed in the individual and team three-day eventing at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, riding Watercolour as part of the Irish team that finished 8th overall.

The Irish team adopted a conservative tactical approach on the cross-country phase on the instruction of Chef d’Equipe Ronnie MacMahon and the overall Chairman Patrick Conolly-Carew, accumulating significant time penalties across the cross-country phase.
