Star-studded entry for Camphire Horse Trials

Britain’s Polly Stockton, Ruth Edge and Julie Tew, as well as Irish Olympians Michael Ryan and Joseph Murphy, are among the stars for what is gearing up to be the biggest Camphire Horse Trials in Waterford.

Over 200 entries alone have been taken for the international classes at the August 3-5 event, which will unveil a new three-star cross-country track, designed by Mike Etherington-Smith, whose CV features the Sydney and Beijing Olympics.

Among the young horse classes is the €1,000 Masterclass for four-year-olds, aimed at identifying horses of potential.
