Aughinish parts company with Limerick Show

Aughinish Alumina invested over €500,000 over the past twenty years as title sponsors of the Limerick Lady and Matron Championships, a progressive Irish-bred sport horse development programme.

The aim was to further the Hunter Improvement Society’s work by encouraging farmers to keep the right type of half-bred two-year-old fillies on their farms and in the country as potential brood mares, in the hope that they would produce good three-day event horses, hunters and show jumpers when put to a Thoroughbred stallion.
