Foal Championship 2024 Launched

Horse Sport Ireland; the National Federation, are delighted to be running the Foal Championships for 2024. The Foal Championship has a very generous prize fund of €28,650 funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and will aim to identify, evaluate, and reward breeders who have bred a foal that has the potential to be competitive at the highest level in the disciplines of showjumping or eventing.

This year there will be four provincial qualifiers held in September with separate categories for horses and ponies, and separate sections for potential showjumping foals and potential eventing foals.
At each of the qualifiers the winning foal of each class will be selected for the Final in October: the best show jumping type, the best eventing type, as well as one Traditional horse foal per province.

The Grand Final will take place at the end of October with Champions being named in both horse and pony sections for the Champion Showjumping Foal and Champion Eventing Foal.
There will also be a Champion prize for the overall best traditionally bred foal.
Applications for each venue will close three working days before the competition date.
