The RDS is all about the Irish horse

A MAJOR review of the showing and national jumping classes at the Fáilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show is to be undertaken by the RDS.

Chief executive Michael Duffy confirmed the move at last week's show, during which there was a lot of debate around the rings about the state of Irish showjumping and the status of Irish- bred stock.

A number of new and enhanced events were introduced at this year's event to encourage breeders to produce and show quality Irish-bred animals.
