Filly Loose Jumping

Horse Sport Ireland will host the annual 3 and 4-year-old filly, horse and pony loose jumping competition this August and September (2025). These competitions are for three and four-year-old fillies and aim to identify young performance fillies that may be suitable for the breeding herd. There will be three qualifiers for horses with separate categories for 3yo and 4yo fillies.  There will be a separate stand-alone competition for 3yo and 4yo filly ponies. The top three highest scoring fillies from the HORSE 3yo and 4yo categories will be selected for the FINAL at each qualifier. A prize fund of €7,500 including breeder prizes will be on offer at the final for qualified entries.

The filly horse competitions are open to any three or four-year-old horse that is studbook registered with a breed recorded (this can include main or supplementary section studbook animals). The filly pony competition is open to any three and four-year-old pony that is studbook registered with a breed recorded (this can include main or supplementary section studbook animals). The top ranked Traditional Irish Horse (TIH) filly will be awarded a prize in the 3- & 4-year-old horse loose jumping sections.

Foal Championships

Horse Sport Ireland; the National Federation, are delighted to be running the Foal Championships for 2025. 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 five qualifiers held in August & 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 and the best eventing type.
