MILLSTREET International Horse Trials will celebrate its 10th birthday this year at the Duggan family’s Green Glens Arena in Co Cork from May 29th to June 1st.

The venue first ventured into the sport of eventing in 2014 with the FEI European Championships for ponies, following up with a first senior international competition in 2015. Now, it attracts riders from all corners of the globe and it is used as a championship selection trial. Last year, Australian competitor Christopher Burton clinched his Olympic selection with a thrilling CCI4*-S victory on Shadow Man and went on to win a silver medal in Paris.

The cross-country will be designed by one of the world’s leading designers, Mike Etherington-Smith. In addition to the eventing action, Millstreet will once again be a showcase for Irish horses in the Dubarry Burghley Young Event Horse qualifier, which takes place on Thursday, May 29th.

“As ever, we have been working hard over the winter to prepare for this year’s competitions, in which we know we will be watching the world’s best riders,” said event director and host Thomas Duggan. “We are looking forward to welcoming back the international eventing community and to another great weekend of sport and fun.”
