Horse Sport Ireland welcomes new affiliates

Horse Sport Ireland chief executive Denis Duggan, Robert Draper of the Irish Draught Horse Breeders Association, Minister of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue TD and Horse Sport Ireland head of breeding, innovation & development Dr Sonja Egan with DS Candescent

The Irish Draft Horse Breeders Association (IDHBA) has been formally affiliated in full to Horse Sport Ireland (HSI), along with Breeders Elite

The new additions bring the number of HSI affiliates to 29???, and the organisation continues to encourage equestrian bodies in Ireland to seek affiliation with the governing body.

The IDHBA was formed to preserve and promote the integrity of the Irish Draught Breed. The association’s members work throughout Ireland in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine (DAFM), and HSI, in creating the atmosphere for the protection of this indigenous species.
