Limerick Show is a highlight in Irish sport horse breeding

ONE of the high points of the Irish sport horse breeding year again attracted big interest at Limerick Show.

The Limerick Lady and Matron championships are aimed at encouraging farmers to keep the correct type of half-bred two-year-old fillies as potential brood mares.

Behind the effort is the hope these mares would produce high-quality three-day-event horses, hunters and show jumpers.
