NEXT Thursday sees the start of the two-day Horse Sport Ireland (HSI) stallion inspections at Cavan Equestrian Centre (March 20th-21st), where the first group will start at 8am.

Without Irish Draught entries and spectators, previous Horse Sport Ireland (HSI) annual stallion inspections would have been small events. ‘Draught Days’ at Cavan, where the HSI central inspections are held, has drawn breed enthusiasts since 2010.
