HORSE Sport Ireland’s Director of Breeding and Programmes Alison Corbally confirmed that Horse Sport Ireland had received over 30 submissions to its draft Irish Draught policy which was published earlier this month.
Ms. Corbally said the taskforce were very pleased with the number of responses and the quality of them.
“We received a very good response to the call for submissions and generally they were very supportive of the direction the policy is taking. However, there were some very good suggestions for improvements,” she said.
The Taskforce had a day-long meeting last week to consider the submissions and the redrafted report will go before the next meeting of Horse Sport Ireland’s breeding sub-board.
The Taskforce consists of Michael Duignan (Chairman), Pat Gleeson, Dr. Charlotte Moore, Br. Alphonsus Gavigan and Timothy O’Regan.
