HSI seeks new managers for show jumping and eventing teams

Horse Sport Ireland has announced that the positions of team manager for Ireland's senior show jumping and eventing teams will be advertised shortly.

The decision was made after a Board meeting today in Naas. Advertisements for the positions will be placed shortly.

"Show jumping manager Robert Splaine and eventing manager Ginny Elliot have both achieved excellent results for Irish equestrian sport," said Chairman of Horse Sport Ireland, Joe Walsh.

"However, in the interest of transparency and fairness, the board is of the view that an open recruitment competition should be held for these important positions."

Robert Splaine has been show jumping team manager since 2005 while Ginny Elliot has been eventing high performance manager since 2008.

Both contracts expire on December 31, 2012.
