Showing classes pull in the crowds as quality breeds show the way

THE showing classes at the Fáilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show pulled in the spectators, who lined the rails for judging in the various finals.

Particular interest was shown in the Irish Horse Board-sponsored breeders championship, which had a €20,000 prize fund.

That was quadruple last year’s in a bid to encourage more people to show their mares and foals, and to recognise those who keep such quality produce stock that they inevitably rise to the top in showing classes.
