MILLSTREET has announced a new eventing showcase to take place at the inaugural Millstreet/Drishane Castle International Horse Trials on Auguts 28th-30th. The ‘Eventing Young Irelander’ on Friday, August 28th will see a number of pre-qualified three-year-old potential event horses showcased in the main indoor arena after competition has concluded for the day.

Following on from the successful eventing showcase held during the FEI European Championships for Ponies last year, a number of pre-selected four and five year old horses will be exhibited under lights in the main indoor arena on Saturday, August 29th.

Event organiser Thomas Duggan said: “We hope that these initiatives will prove to be a valuable shop window for our event horse breeders and producers.”

A selection day for the Eventing Young Irelander will take place at the Green Glens Arena on Tuesday, July 21st for those interested in taking part.

The event will have a prize fund of over €27,000 and a schedule that includes CIC*, CIC** and CIC*** classes, as well as CIC young horse classes. Online entry and further information can be found on www.millstreet.horse
