Horse Sport Ireland draft report offers plenty of food for thought

Horse Sport Ireland last week inadvertently put up on its website a draft copy of the much-anticipated sport horse industry strategy, titled Reaching New Heights.

The draft report — compiled by HSI, Teagasc and the RDS following an initial meeting in November 2013 — is with the Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney, who is to put his stamp on it before formally publishing the strategy on March 3.

Yesterday, HSI conceded that the document appeared due to a “clerical error”.
