Emerald International Equestrian Centre is opening its doors for the first time since its extensive refurbishment. To mark the event, Emerald will host a three-day Irish Masters Show from 14 to 16 November, with a prize fund of almost €55,000 on offer.

Set on 50 acres in Mucklon, Enfield, Co Kildare, Emerald International has three outdoor arenas all with a new equestrian surface and a large international arena with seats for 3,000 people.

As well as the equestrian fraternity, this event is also open to the general public and those with a love for horses or an interest in show jumping or eventing. The Masters Show offers a unique opportunity to watch demonstrations held by some of Ireland’s leading equestrian athletes, including Sarah Ennis, Greg Broderick and Tholm Keane.

This is a ticketed event and tickets can be purchased from Ticketmaster.

In the run-up to the November show, there will be two qualifiers, on Wednesday 22 October and Wednesday 29 October at 9am. These are to qualify five-, six- and seven-year-old horses for the age finals. The closing date for entries for the show is Thursday 6 November 2014. Email entries to office@emerald international.ie.
