MOUNT Juliet Estate will be the title sponsor of The Accumulator international show jumping class for the 2017 Dublin Horse Show (August 9th to 13th). The €24,600 competition will take place on Saturday, August 12th.

CEO of the RDS, Michael Duffy, said: “We’re delighted to have Mount Juliet Estate as sponsors of this great competition for the next three years.

“They have already shown their commitment to Irish equestrianism through the development of their superb facilities in Thomastown and this sponsorship confirms their intent. The RDS continues to operate the Show on a not-for-profit basis in order to make it the best show possible for the sport horse industry, so sponsorship such as this is vital for the financial well-being of the event. The class itself is a very popular one, as it demonstrates the athleticism and focus of top-class international show jumpers in a really engaging and exciting competition.”

General Manager of Mount Juliet Estate, Christine Murphy, said: “At Mount Juliet Estate, we are deeply proud of our equestrian history.

“Sponsoring The Accumulator at Dublin Horse Show for the next three years is a symbol of our ongoing appreciation for all aspects of Irish equestrianism. We are delighted to being part of the Dublin Horse Show, a classic Irish sporting, social and family event, and we are really looking forward to presenting the winner of The Accumulator sponsored by Mount Juliet Estate with their prize on Saturday, August 12th!”
