A TROUPE of 39 devout breeders and producers accompanied Teagasc equine specialists Wendy Conlon and Seán Keane for the latest Teagasc equine overseas educational tour, timed to coincide with the finals of the World Breeding Championships for Young Horses in Lanaken, Belgium.

After the championships, the group commenced three further days of farm visits in The Netherlands with eight farms, almost 650km travelled, innumerable horses seen, stories shared, questions asked and answered, and plenty of humour.
